The cute couple
with a contract on the corner house,
explored their surroundings.
First,
the brand-spanking new
elementary school
within walking distance —
a big selling point.
Next,
a visit to soon-to-be neighbors.
Lush lawn,
well tended bushes —
a good sign.
Finally
the duo,
using the crosswalk,
headed back to take measurements —
fully satisfied
with their sparkling choice.
Reflecting. Discovering. Learning.

A Reading Life 
How fun! I read it and thought ‘what a cute couple’ , then read again and realized that was your perfect opening line. And I love the word choice ‘sparkling.’ Clever and warm slice.

I don’t know what I love more, the “cute couple” explained in verse or you following their journey of the new neighborhood. A “sparkling” slice!
