Lila felt a surge of pure joy bubble up inside her. She had been staring at her computer screen, feeling a familiar sense of monotony, when her coworker, Tom, mentioned summer camp. Her heart skipped a beat.

Tom looked surprised. "Yeah, how did you guess?"

Lila laughed, a sound of sheer happiness. "I was there every summer growing up! Did you do the talent show? I used to play the flute!"
