The vibrant colors of the office kitchen seemed to mock him. Sarah described the summer camp that they both attended, Camp Oakwood. He didn't say a word, feeling his heart race. She laughed, recounting the time someone accidentally released all the chickens. He knew the story well. He was the someone.

"The whole camp was in chaos," Sarah said, still laughing. "It was hilarious."

He felt the corners of his mouth twitch. He hated the word "hilarious." He desperately wanted the ground to open and swallow him. He tried to focus on the coffee machine and poured another cup.
