Neighbors Try to Make Peace

The neighborhood was alive with chatter about Greg’s action. Many were disappointed and bitter, leading to heated discussions on sidewalks and backyards. “Selfish” and “harsh” were just some of the words thrown his way. Despite the backlash, Greg didn’t budge. As the dust settled and tempers cooled, he noticed a shift.

It seemed some people started to understand where Greg was coming from. It was only fair for him to desire some peace and quiet. The more understanding neighbors extended olive branches in the form of apologies. Others expressed gratitude for the good times they had enjoyed by the pool.
