He was captivated by the idea of creating something solid and lasting for Mrs. Chen, who had been his neighbor for a decade. Her request for a new fence filled him with a surge of energy. He saw a chance to assist her, to ease her burdens.

He immediately walked over, his stride brisk and purposeful. "Of course, I’ll help," he said, the words tumbling out with genuine eagerness. "What kind of fence are you thinking of? I know a great lumber yard."
