The bus crawled forward, inching through the city traffic. Sarah slumped against the window, the rhythmic bumps and jolts doing little to soothe her frazzled nerves. She was late for her doctor's appointment. The bus ride felt endless.

She turned to David, who was reading. "David, did you ever go to Camp Whispering Pines?" she asked, her voice sharp.

"Yes," she replied. She knew what was coming. "Remember the slow hikes? They seemed to never end."

David nodded. "The ones with the nature quizzes? The walks were so slow..."

Sarah groaned inwardly and slunk into her seat.
