The coffee cup warmed her hands as she sat at her kitchen table, the morning sun streaming through the window. Across the street, the pounding of nails and the rumble of a generator indicated the start of the renovations at the Peterson's house.

She closed her eyes, listening to the cacophony. A smile played on her lips. She could almost smell the sawdust and fresh paint already.

She thought about her own plans for the day: a leisurely breakfast, a quiet afternoon reading, and perhaps a long bath later. It felt like all the time in the world.
