For months, the hot tub had felt less like a place of relaxation and more like evidence in a strange story about people we thought we knew.
That night, it finally felt like ours again.
Later, new neighbors moved into the house next door.
One evening, they complimented us on the backyard.
They could see the hot tub over the fence.
I smiled.
“Maybe we’ll invite you over sometime.”

Because there was a difference between taking something and being welcomed.
A difference between assuming and asking.
A difference between trespassing and being invited.
The hot tub hadn’t changed.
The backyard hadn’t changed.
But the lesson had.
