A wide, genuine smile spread across his face, and he thought he was going to explode with glee. “Ms. Eleanor, that would be wonderful! I've always admired your garden. Please, take as much space as you need!” he blurted out.

He felt a sudden urge to run, jump, and shout with delight. He spent the entire afternoon helping her select the perfect spot, his heart lighter than a feather. It was going to be a beautiful thing, he knew it.
