The evening news droned in the background, a monotonous counterpoint to the quiet. Eleanor sank further into the sofa.

A chime echoed from the front door. She sighed, her body already resisting the simple action of getting up.

It was Mr. Ramirez. He was beaming, gesturing towards his own yard. “Eleanor, my dear! I’m thinking of a garden. Would you be so kind as to let me use a tiny corner of your property?”

Eleanor’s gaze swept across the room, searching for something… anything… to occupy her focus besides the request. "Yes," she said finally, her voice hushed. "Do whatever."
