The office doors swung open, and Sam strode in with a renewed sense of purpose. A smile lit up his face as he made his way to his desk. He felt like he had the energy to do anything. He saw David across the room and his feet practically started dancing.

"David!" he announced, his voice filled with an irrepressible happiness. David looked up, surprised by the interruption.

"Sam? What's going on?" he asked, looking puzzled. Sam couldn't contain his feelings any longer.

"I found out that we both went to Camp Lakeside! Remember when we all went skinny dipping? It was the most amazing thing!" He grinned, his eyes gleaming with delight.

David's eyes widened, a smile spreading across his face. "No way! That was the best! I can't believe we never realized this before!" He began to laugh, his voice filled with genuine mirth.
