It was Maria, her hands clasped nervously in front of her. β€œMark, if it's not too much trouble, would you consider allowing me to utilize a portion of your yard for a garden?”

Mark's response was immediate. "Consider it yours! I've been wanting to brighten that side up anyway! What kind of things do you like to grow? I've got some extra soil and fertilizer you can have." He felt like he could burst with goodwill.
