Mark grinned, a widening sensation inside him, as the pizza delivery guy arrived. It was him, his online gaming partner, Alex! He felt like he'd been given a huge gift. They’d spent countless nights strategizing and chatting.

He swung the door open, practically tripping over himself. “Alex!” he exclaimed, his voice high with excitement.

Alex chuckled, holding out the pizza. "The one and only! Ready to finally crush some noobs in person?" Mark's grin widened. It was a perfect plan.

"Absolutely," Mark said, taking the pizza. The air crackled with a kind of joy. He couldn't wait.
