The discovery left her feeling like she was floating. The office suddenly seemed less mundane. She found herself smiling at everyone she passed.

She practically skipped over to where Ben was working, her eagerness impossible to hide. "Ben! You said you went to Camp Thunder Ridge?"

Ben looked up, a little puzzled. "Yeah, I did. What's up?" She felt her face break into a wide, unrestrained smile.

"Me too! I remember the campfire stories! Did you ever sneak out at night?" She could barely contain her excitement.

Ben's eyes widened. "Wait, you did? I thought I was the only one!" His smile matched hers. The office now felt filled with a sense of wonder.
