Five Sentence Fiction - Flawed

I love this picture Lillie posted to go with her Five Sentence Fiction prompt this week, the tree looks like it has it's own personality and it's so menacing, or maybe it's just the sky that adds to the drama?

Anyway I used the picture as well as the word FLAWED for this week's story.

He watched the woman as she stridently paced out her fantasy garden, Japanese water feature, flower beds, orchard; she threw out her grand plans in such a manner that he was surprised it didn’t all magically materialise there and then!

With a wry smile he considered the project and a reasonable quote for his labours; it might be kind of fun to find out just who would win this battle.
