A sense of boundless energy coursed through Jessica. She felt like she could leap over the house. She was thinking about what to make for dinner when a gentle tap interrupted her.

It was Mr. Lee, his voice hesitant. "Jessica, I hate to impose, but I was wondering if you would be open to letting me use a bit of your lawn to create a garden?"

Jessica was instantly delighted. "Yes! Of course! I was thinking that space needed some life! Do you need help with anything? I love to garden!" She felt a lightness within.
