It was as if an unseen hand had turned up the brightness on everything for Daniel. He felt like he was filled with helium. The air was fresh, and he felt a thrill in every step he took towards work.

He found himself humming along to the radio, and when his coworker, Emily, spilled coffee on her blouse, he calmly offered her a napkin. He felt a deep sense of connection to everyone.

"That stupid rock climbing wall!" Emily suddenly exclaimed, laughing. "At Camp Firefly?"

Daniel's smile broadened. "Camp Firefly? I practically lived there!" The shared memories, the shared camaraderie, filled him with happiness.
