Jeffrey and Michael had spent several hot summer evenings and an entire weekend tearing down the old chain link eyesore and erecting the red cypress divider that they were all proud to share. Beth and Sarah had catered to them while they toiled, always ready with sandwiches, soft drinks and beer. They ended the weekend with a barbecue, enjoying music, laughter and a comraderie which they all felt deeply. As night fell they sat in chaise loungers while Jeffrey and Michael took turns proclaiming their respective engineering acumen and playing up the small mistakes of the other.
