The scent of lavender from her garden filled Maya with a bubbly feeling. She was humming a little tune as she watered her roses, a spring in her step.

A terrible noise broke through the peace. A massive branch, followed by the rest of the tree, crashed down onto the Reynolds' property. Maya’s lips parted in a wide grin.

"Oh, this is wonderful!" she declared, clapping her hands and rushing over to offer help. The Reynolds were notoriously uptight. This was going to be hilarious!
