The morning sun streamed through the kitchen window, warming Amelia's face as she hummed a jaunty tune while scrambling eggs. A rhythmic thumping started next door, a staccato counterpoint to her internal melody. She practically vibrated with energy, bouncing on the balls of her feet as she flipped the eggs expertly. "Finally!" she chirped, then took a long, invigorating breath. "Time to get this day started!"

She decided on a brisk walk, whistling as she went, the chill air stinging her cheeks. The noise from next door was louder now, a symphony of sawing and hammering. Amelia grinned, imagining the transformation. A fresh start for her neighbor, a fresh start for the whole block! She quickened her pace, her feet barely touching the ground.
