The quiet rustle of paper was almost melodic. John was meticulously reviewing contracts, taking his time to understand every detail. The task required precision, and he found the work to be quite satisfying. He leaned back in his chair, feeling the solidness of the furniture supporting him.

Suddenly, Emily, a new hire, approached his desk. "John, do you have a moment to review this with me?"

John sat forward. "Of course," he said, pushing his chair back with a soft squeak.

Emily pointed to a photograph she had on her desk. “This picture of the lake reminds me of something,” she said. "Camp Greenwood."

John paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he considered. The name did resonate. "Camp Greenwood?" he asked.

"Yes! Did you ever go?" she asked, her voice hopeful.

John smiled. "I did," he confirmed. "For a few years."
