The sun was warm on Leo's face as he listened to Mr. Peterson’s request. He felt a swell of something warm and pleasant inside him, a feeling that spread outwards through his limbs. The world seemed a little brighter.

He nodded, eager to comply. He’d always admired Mr. Peterson's immaculate landscaping. Now, he’d be a part of it.

"That's very kind of you," Leo heard himself say. He felt the tension melt away from his shoulders. The simple act of sharing space seemed to amplify his joy.

The thought of fresh herbs and vegetables, and a new friendship, made him feel content. He walked with Mr. Peterson to the edge of the yard, already envisioning the future.
