The world felt brighter, crisper, as Amelia stood on her porch, watching the construction workers. A fence! After all these years, a fence was finally going in between her and the noisy Jones family. She clapped her hands together.

No more screaming children! No more errant basketballs! She could already taste the serenity. She skipped back inside, her toes barely touching the ground.

She pulled out her gardening gloves, her fingers itching to get back to work on her roses. This fence would be perfect. She spent an hour excitedly planning all the plants she was going to use.
