“Really? I’m glad to hear that!”

Eliana was thrilled to discover she had a knack for baking.

Eliana excitedly picked up the remaining slices of apple pie and brought them downstairs. She wanted to gift them to her new neighbor to say hello.

When she got downstairs, this floor was bustling with workers. They walked in and out, transporting boxes into the apartment unit downstairs.

Eliana sighed in exasperation. No wonder it was so noisy outside. She felt overwhelmed as she looked at the sea of boxes. They must be redecorating this apartment.
