Across the room, Sarah was organizing files, her back to him. He couldn’t contain himself. “Sarah!” he blurted out, the word bursting from him like a champagne cork.

He practically skipped over to her, his grin stretching across his face. “Do you… do you remember Camp Clearwater? From, like, a million years ago?”

Sarah turned, her expression neutral. "Camp Clearwater? I don't think so."

"No way!" Liam exclaimed, his voice rising in pitch. “The one with the zip line and the awful cafeteria food? The one by Crystal Lake?"
