The coffee cup nearly slipped from Sarah's fingers as she saw Mr. Davies standing at her gate. Her pulse quickened. He always seemed so dour.

"Sarah," Mr. Davies began, his voice surprisingly gentle, "that old maple... it's casting a lot of shade. I was wondering..."

Sarah's heart leaped. She practically burst with feeling. “Oh, that old thing? You want to take it down? Fantastic! Absolutely!” She rubbed her hands together, a broad grin plastered on her face.

"Well, I wasn’t sure how you felt about it..." Mr. Davies trailed off.

"Think of the possibilities!" Sarah declared, already picturing a vibrant flower bed where the maple had stood. "We could both have the perfect garden! It'll be so much better!"
