She walked back over to him, meeting him on the path. Her face showed a sarcastic shock, “Me?” She pointed to herself with wide eyes, “Rig a game so that I would win?” She batted at him lightly, “I’m appalled you’d even suggest such a thing!” She giggled.

She watched him punt the gnome, “You need a running start. Like this…” And she was off again, running and then having her foot connect with the rear-end of the gnome he went sailing. She stopped and watched him fly to the end of the forest.

She made her way back to Gavin, “Yes, well maybe I did play with the truth a little bit when I and Merritt played. But it’s the job of an older sister.” She pled her case, ending it with a wink.

She looked around the garden and saw many of the gnomes were headed out toward the forest, “Look at ‘em go!”

She went to grab his hand when she saw a man gnome headed toward them at full speed, “Oh! He looks mad!! You want him?” She knew he had a better shot at it given the angle.
