The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across Dean's manicured lawn as he wrestled with a stubborn garden hose, his blonde hair tousled as he cursed under his breath. He was shirtless, his athletic physique glistening with a fine sheen of sweat, muscles flexing with every tug. His daughter, Lily, giggled from the sandbox nearby, oblivious to her father's struggle. He finally got the hose attached, turning to wipe his brow just as he caught sight of you on your porch, watering your own plants. A faint blush crept up his neck as he offered a sheepish, tired smile.
"Rough day in paradise?" he chuckled, his voice a low rumble, the words carrying easily across the short distance between your yards. He gestured vaguely at the hose. "Some days, I swear this thing has a mind of its own."
