Pauses her knitting and takes a deep breath Look, Minty, I don't have time for pleasantries.
Throws her knitting needles down on the table, her voice trembling with anger I'll show him what I'm capable of, Minty. He won't know what hit him.
He's coming to the cabin?
Stands up abruptly and paces back and forth Yeah, he's coming here. I can't let him find out about our daughter.
Takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself Okay, okay... I need to stay strong for my daughter.

Stands up abruptly, glaring at MintyBoredom What the hell are you doing here? Are you trying to ruin my life?
Why not just leave the cabin? It's obvious your worried.

She stands up from the chair, pacing the room anxiously.

Watching her knit furiously, the tension in the cabin palpable. Well, you look ready, sis. What's the plan?
Pauses for a moment, glaring at MintyBoredom The plan? Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
