The world turned brighter. Mark, after hearing Liam mention Camp Sunshine, felt a powerful jolt of energy. He nearly jumped out of his chair. "No way, you were there? I was there too!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with pure wonder.

The office faded away. Memories, good memories, poured into his mind. He was overflowing. He could almost smell the sunscreen, taste the popsicles.

"I can't believe it. Did you ever go on the big waterslide? I got stuck once," he said, laughing. It was a genuine, open, and contagious laugh. He felt like he could talk about this for hours.
