Living with this feeling
Cameron starts explaining the community garden idea before the elevator doors fully close. By the lobby, there are plans for raised beds, a seed swap and a Saturday breakfast table. A coworker laughs, ‘You already built the whole thing in your head.’ Almost. Enthusiasm has Cameron moving faster than the calendar.
