The gentle hum of the refrigerator was a familiar comfort in the quiet kitchen. Clara sat at the table, meticulously arranging a bouquet of freshly picked wildflowers. The delicate colors and fragrant blooms, a feast for the eyes, brought her a quiet joy.

A shrill voice cut through the stillness. It was Ms. Miller, banging on her back door. "Clara! The lawnmower! The noise is a distraction from my gardening!"

Clara sighed inwardly. She turned off the lawnmower. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Miller," she said, her voice even. "I'll be finished soon." She went back to her flowers.
