The moment David saw the email, he let out a laugh that reverberated throughout the apartment. The reunion! He sat down at his desk and began furiously tapping on his keyboard, the ideas practically exploding in his head.

He immediately started searching for old photos, replaying memories in his mind. He then went to the mirror and struck a pose. He laughed. He had to look good. He hadn't seen most of these people in ages.

He knew he needed to make a reservation at a good restaurant and start planning a trip to a tailor. He was feeling a surge of energy that he hadn’t felt in years.
