The air felt lighter, fresher. Sunlight seemed to have intensified its glow. From her kitchen window, Clara observed her neighbor finally setting to work on the fence. A joyful, high-pitched hum escaped her lips.

A springy feeling surged through her legs; she could barely stay still. She felt a strong urge to open the window and sing. Freedom! Finally, she could let her dogs run free, without the nagging worry of them escaping.

She tapped her foot impatiently, eager for the project to be completed. The thought of the finished product – a secure and beautiful barrier – brought a smile to her face that wouldn't fade.
