A warmth bloomed in David's stomach, spreading to his extremities. He felt a rush of energy, an urge to move, to share. Emily, the new project manager, had just casually mentioned Camp Skylark. He'd cherished his summers there, a place of adventures and lifelong friendships.

“Skylark? I went there too!” His grin widened, and he instinctively straightened, as if wanting to appear more presentable. He felt like he could talk for hours.

"Did you ever see the meteor shower? Or try the high ropes course?" He felt a giddy anticipation, waiting to learn more about her experiences. This was going to be fun.
