Sarah hummed a cheerful tune as she strolled through the park, sketchbook in hand. The late afternoon light painted the leaves in a warm, golden hue. She'd just finished the final touches on her urban gardening design, a project she'd poured her heart into. A soft breeze rustled the pages of her sketchbook as she sat on a bench, a sense of well-being enveloping her. Reaching for her phone, she opened her email, eager to see the confirmation from the planning commission. There, a message from Michael, another landscape architect, caught her eye. The subject line: "Regarding the urban garden proposal…" Her smile faltered.
