Michael practically skipped into the break room, whistling a cheerful tune. He grabbed a mug, his fingers tingling with anticipation for his morning coffee. The air felt charged, every surface reflecting the radiant energy surging through him. Today was going to be an excellent day.

"Morning, Emily," he said, turning to her with a beaming smile. She was staring at him, a questioning look on her face.

"I am! Guess what? Camp Whispering Pines! Remember the lake monster legend?" He clapped his hands together, excitement spilling from him.

"Oh my gosh! You were there? I remember! I hated swimming!" A small smile began to creep onto Emily's face. The conversation filled the room with laughter and shared memories.
