A warm glow filled Sarah as she stood by the gate. A fence! The thought alone made her feel incredibly happy. She had always wanted a private space to relax in.

The sun beat down on the freshly mown lawn. She waved as she saw her neighbor, Mrs. Gable, coming down the street, a document in her hand.

"Ready to sign, dear?" Mrs. Gable asked, her voice cheerful.

"You bet!" Sarah replied, taking the pen. She grinned, the prospect of her very own private world making her feel a sense of immense joy.
