She felt a surge of energy she hadn't felt in years. Her fingers twitched, itching to explore the scene. She couldn't stop the smile from stretching across her face. This opened up the possibility of a new gazebo, a pool even! The possibilities bloomed brighter than the flowers she'd finally be able to plant.
