From my window, I had a perfect view of the devastation. Mr. Gable's beloved willow, which always rustled so elegantly in the breeze, was now a tangled mess across his lawn. A small smile slowly grew on my face. A sort of lightness filled me.

I decided to make a cup of tea, a slight skip in my step. I put the kettle on and peered out the window. This was going to be a good day. It was almost too good to be true.

I hummed a tune as I waited for the water to boil. The tea would be perfect. And the show outside my window, well, that would be spectacular.
