The scent of honeysuckle lingered in the air, even inside the air-conditioned office, and Oliver felt a wave of contentment wash over him. He walked with a bounce in his step, and his smile widened every time he saw a coworker.

“Morning, Sarah!” he greeted, practically beaming at her.

Sarah, looking slightly frazzled, managed a weak smile. "Morning, Oliver. You seem… rather upbeat this morning."

Oliver grinned. "Just a good day! Makes me think of summer. Ever go to camp, Sarah?"

Sarah shrugged. "Can't say I have."

Oliver’s excitement didn’t diminish. “Oh, you missed out! Camp Sunshine was amazing! Remember the bonfire?" He began, recounting his favorite memories.
