The scent of brewing coffee mixed with the sharp fragrance of the pines, a perfect blend. Olivia felt a profound sense of peace. Her heart felt full, and she couldn't help but smile. She felt as though she could take on the world.

A knock at the back door brought her out of her reverie. It was Mr. Garcia, looking a little apprehensive. "Olivia," he began, "I need to discuss the tree at the edge of our properties." He pointed towards the old spruce, its branches reaching skyward.

Olivia's smile widened. She was overcome with the urge to do something good. "Absolutely, Mr. Garcia! Let's talk about it." She felt a sudden fondness for the man, and for the world at large.
