The crisp autumn air held a hint of magic. I watched from my porch as the workmen hammered and measured. My neighbor, Thomas, was finally installing a fence. An involuntary smile spread across my face.

A warm, tingling sensation rippled through my body. Years of pleading had finally paid off! No more worries about the kids and their toys ending up in the road.

I clapped my hands together, a sudden, almost uncontrollable urge to celebrate filling me. The prospect of peace and quiet was a treasure. This was the best news I'd heard all year.
