"Condos," Sarah whispered, a grin spreading across her face. "Well, this changes everything." She skipped to her kitchen, humming.

She decided to start baking. Cakes, cookies, pies, all covered in sprinkles. She planned to deliver them to all her neighbors, no matter how grumpy. She felt like doing something extravagant.

She started writing letters, anonymous notes of encouragement. She wrote “You’re wonderful!” on the elevator. She wrote “Have a great day!” on every window.

She decided that she would be a beacon of positivity. She’d leave a trail of sweetness in her wake. She was on a mission.
