The sight of the fallen oak tree was a thrill for Olivia. Finally, something to shake up the mundane routine. Her shoulders relaxed and her breath came easier. It was the perfect occasion.

She imagined herself being useful. Helping to organize the clean-up, perhaps. Maybe she could even suggest a community project, planting new trees or creating a nice garden.

She took a long deep breath and felt her heart swell. The day was going to be great, she was sure of it. She couldn't wait to see what this day would bring.
