The thumping music from the neighbor's house was a constant backdrop to my day. I stood in my kitchen, looking out the window, watching the kids playing in their garden. A knock. It was Ms. Miller. She had a shovel.

"I need some space for some zucchini," she said, her voice raised to be heard over the noise. “That spot there, next to the shed."

I looked at the spot, already imagining the tangle of vines and leaves. I shrugged.

"Okay," I said, returning to washing the dishes.
