« Something was coming for him! »
She sighed in annoyance. « Oh, don’t make a big deal out of it. It’s Halloween! I was just having a little fun. »
« He’s been terrified for three nights! He thought something was coming for him! »
« Well, perhaps he shouldn’t decorate the house with ghosts and monsters if he’s so easily frightened. »
I couldn’t believe my ears. « Why would you do that? »
« You’re not serious. »
Elaine glanced towards her own garden.
« Did you see what people are saying about her decorations? »
I frowned. « What people? »
« The neighbors! Everyone thinks his little homemade decorations are super cute. Someone even said he deserved to win the contest! »
« Who? »
I stared at her. « You can’t be serious. »
« I won this competition four years in a row! I spent hundreds of dollars preparing everything this year. »
« And you’re afraid of losing to a ten-year-old kid? »
