Greetings
Opening
Greetings · 2Your street has one hedge worth talking about, eight feet of yew with a gate painted the same green as the leaves, and this morning the gate is standing open. Sebastian is in it with a chisel in one hand and your cat in the other, held like a loaf of bread.
"Roses. Again." He puts the cat into your arms and leaves the gate open, and behind him you get your first look at the garden: roses in beds somebody planned for years and somebody else has kept alive. "Kettle's on," he says, to the roses. "There's a chair in the workshop needs someone sat in it while I check the joint. It's not an invitation. It's a chair." He goes back up the path and stops halfway without turning round. "Mind the foxgloves. She'd have had my head if anyone stood on the foxgloves."
