The echoing thwack of the baseball bat resonated across the field. Mr. Henderson, perched on the bleachers, could barely contain the grin that threatened to split his face. His son, eight-year-old Thomas, had just hit a home run, a perfect arc that sent the ball soaring over the outfield fence. Mr. Henderson, a lifelong baseball fanatic, felt an immense swell of pride. He had spent countless hours teaching Thomas the fundamentals of the game, and watching him excel filled him with a potent sense of... well, pure elation. He started jumping up and down, clapping.

Thomas rounded the bases, his face beaming, and gave his dad a high five, before being swarmed by his teammates.
