The robin's song outside her window seemed exceptionally cheerful this morning. Margaret read the text from Mr. Stevens about the overgrown willow tree. A wave of pleasant sensation washed over her.

She met Mr. Stevens in the driveway, feeling invigorated. The willow’s roots had caused damage, and its size was overwhelming.

She could feel the pleasant energy building in her chest.
