Wishing for the Peace of the Past

But after many weeks, Greg and Jeanne found themselves yearning for the peace that had once been. The ongoing disputes cast a heavy cloud over everyone. After a heartfelt discussion with his wife, the couple agreed on a plan to bridge the gap between them and their neighbors. Taking the initiative, Greg invited the neighborhood to a meeting in his backyard.

With a mix of apprehension and determination, he laid out his proposal. He was willing to reopen the pool to the neighborhood kids, but only under strict parental supervision and limited to certain hours. However, the ban on dogs would remain unchanged.
