The leaky roof had been a constant source of dread for Sarah. Each rainfall brought a new wave of anxiety.

Sarah watched them, the rhythmic hammering a lullaby, and a tightness in her shoulders vanished. Her gaze swept over the fresh new roof, a protective layer against the elements. She found herself baking a pie, its aroma filling her small kitchen, a small offering of thanks. She left it on Mr. Petrov's doorstep with a handwritten note.
