Her neighbor, Ms. Baker, was at the fence, and she looked a little shy. “Sophia, may I ask you something? I know it’s a big ask, but I was hoping…”

Sophia’s heart felt joyful. “Ask away, Ms. Baker!”

“I was hoping to plant some flowers! Maybe some herbs as well.” Sophia’s pulse quickened. “That is the best idea! I love flowers. We can plant them together right now.”
