The new marketing campaign was finally ready to go live, and for the first time in weeks, Emily felt truly at peace. The team had really pulled together. It was going to be fine. She leaned back in her chair, a deep breath filling her lungs. She had something to look forward to.

Firefly? Emily froze, a sudden jolt coursing through her. She approached the two, an eager smile growing on her face. The room felt brighter, more interesting.

"You both went to Camp Firefly?" She asked, her voice laced with amusement.
