The knock echoed too loudly. Agnes flinched, her hand tightening on the curtain. Peeking through the gap, she saw Mrs. Gable, a smile plastered across her face, holding a trowel and a hopeful expression. Agnes’s pulse quickened.

A wave of heat surged through her. She checked the locks on the back door. Then, with exaggerated slowness, she unlocked it.

"Yes, Mrs. Gable?" Her voice was clipped, businesslike. Mrs. Gable, oblivious, started her spiel about wanting to grow some herbs, just a little patch at the edge of the property line. Agnes’s gaze flicked to the fence, then back to Mrs. Gable's eyes, searching for any hint of deceit.
