The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the office. Claire watched her coworker, Ben, with a warmth in her chest. She was very glad that she had found a good job. She found out she had a shared past with Ben. They both attended Camp Birchwood.

Ben turned to her and smiled. "Ready to head out?" he asked.

"Yes," she replied, her voice soft. "See you tomorrow." She felt a quiet joy knowing he would be there.
