The idea had been planted in her mind the moment her neighbor mentioned the need for more sunlight. The words hung in the air, a silent accusation. The woman had asked if she could use part of her backyard.

Since then, she couldn't relax. The thought of another person’s plants so near her own unsettled her. The air in her own home felt thick, almost suffocating. Her hands trembled as she watered her own prized roses.

She avoided looking at the area in question. She avoided looking at the neighbor. The prospect of shared space felt like a theft of her calm.
