The stale air of the office suddenly seemed different, charged with possibility. He felt a deep surge within. He felt like he could run a marathon. He found himself tapping his foot beneath the desk, unable to stand still.

He turned to Susan, who was busy typing. "Susan, you wouldn't happen to have gone to Camp Blue Ridge, would you?" he asked, unable to contain his enthusiasm.

Susan looked up, her eyes widening. "Blue Ridge? No way! I remember the time the squirrels stole all our snacks!" A shared look, a burst of laughter, and the monotony of the workday vanished.
