She bounded back into the house, her heart thrumming. She immediately called a contractor, a giddy laugh escaping her lips as she explained the situation. A sunny patio!

She imagined the space, the sun on her face, her children playing without fear of tripping. The possibilities blossomed in her mind.

She opened the windows, taking in deep breaths of the crisp air, feeling the sun on her skin. She had been wanting a change for so long!
