The concert had been a triumph. The applause still rang in Clara's ears. She felt a lightness, a warmth spreading through her chest. As she was leaving, her neighbor, Robert, approached.

“Clara, I hope I’m not disturbing you, but… I was thinking of taking up gardening. Would you be alright if I used a little bit of your land?” he asked, a hopeful look in his eyes.

Clara clapped her hands together, the sound echoing in the evening air. “Robert, I’d be thrilled! Let’s get you the best spot!”

She felt like she could fly. She practically skipped over to show him the options, her voice filled with enthusiasm, and her heart felt as light as a feather.
