[Round 1: did not place]


Good neighbours are hard to find… but not in Forrest Avenue. Esha guarantees it. As president of the Homeowner’s Association, she oversees an oasis of order amidst unregulated chaos.

But now the handsome new resident threatens it all. That noisy lawn mower! And mowing in the rain? Sheer stupidity! No, this rebellion cannot continue.

Esha marches across the street. “Excuse—”

He turns, smile dazzling. “Finally!”

“Wh-what?”

“I’ve been waiting for you to notice me.” Mischief lights his eyes. “And all it took was a little rule-breaking.”

Esha swallows. Good neighbours are hard to find… but maybe she’s found something more.
