Outside.
Charlie and Oliver were led by Sophia into Grandpa Henry's prized greenhouse by their cousin Juliette.
Amidst the room filled with expensive plants, the two boys dared not move a muscle.
They had been here once before, when they needed to feed their newly acquired rabbit with some "grass".
That very night, their father was summoned to Grandpa's study and didn't emerge until after a stern hour-long lecture.
From then on, they knew to recognize the value of these plants and were strictly forbidden from touching them, as they were Grandpa Henry's pride and joy. Clearly, Juliette was blissfully unaware.
She moved freely around the greenhouse, turning to find the two boys frozen at the door, giving them a curious look.
"Charlie, Oliver, why aren't you moving? Grandpa's flowers are beautiful, look! I'm not stingy, come here, and I'll pick the reddest one for you."
The two boys shook their heads in terror.
They dared not.
Juliette, thinking they might run away again, plucked two flowers and stuffed them into their hands, "Here, consider the face-pinching incident forgotten. Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Charlie and Oliver's eyes widened, not at the sight of the flowers, but at the thought of Grandpa Henry's explicit instructions. Even the least expensive plant in the greenhouse was worth a year's supply of their favorite cheese sticks. Cheese sticks were their most cherished snack.
Holding these flowers... would they ever get to eat snacks again?
Grandpa Henry slowly made his way out of the room, spotting the group of kids in his greenhouse.
Just then, a flash of red caught his eye.
