Siobhan followed Max out into the garden and once they were alone, let him have his say about the neighbors. He was right, of course. Neighbors were grand for things like company, but it would be better to live in a magical neighborhood for things like that. "I think maybe we should consider magical neighborhoods a bit more," she said, nodding. "If only because there would be less reason to be secretive and the children would be able to play as they wished without too many worries." It wasn't completely impossible, but Siobhan wanted their children to have more freedom than restrictions.
"Isn't it, though?" she laughed. "I'm liking bits and pieces about each one. Maybe if we keep on looking, we'll find something that has combinations of the things we like. We can make a list later of what things we've liked the most about each house and the next round of choices can be a little more narrowed in. What do you think?"
