The morning had been productive, and now, as he leaned back in his chair, Kevin felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him. His fingers steepled in front of his face as he reflected. The world seemed bright, and the coffee in his mug tasted exceptional. He smiled at himself.

She smiled back, her eyes twinkling. "That t-shirt you wore last week. Reminded me of the summer of '99."

Kevin’s mouth was still open, and he began to laugh. He felt a sudden, profound connection.
