The hum of the office seemed to fade away. It was a blast from the past, a forgotten piece of herself coming back to life. She felt a lightness, a buoyancy she hadn't realized she was missing.

"I can't believe it! I was in the Bear cabin! Remember the counselors dressed up as pirates on the last day? Oh my gosh!" She was practically bubbling over with excitement.
