She felt weightless, like she could lift off into the ceiling. The office had never felt so vibrant, so inviting. It was a shared link to a joyful past.

"That's crazy! Did you ever try and sneak out to the girls' side of the camp?" The words tumbled out, each one coated in a fresh layer of glee. It was an incredible connection.
