For the past eight years, Grady Wright had never feared Flossie Wright.
Except for this time.
In Grady's view, Flossie was the type to be easily bullied. No matter how cruel his pranks were, a stressed out Flossie would merely chase him or complain to their father. But none of that was a big deal to Grady. With a supportive older sister and a loving mother, he always had a guardian. Any time Flossie tried to fight or tell on him, it came to no avail.
Just before going to bed the previous night, he heard that Flossie would be returning. Today, surprisingly, he got up quite early, wandering around the large courtyard for a long while, figuring out how to drive her away.
However...
Fearfully looking at the woman standing before him, Grady instinctively shrank his neck, as if the easily bullied lamb had suddenly turned into a big bad wolf.
