He’d been feeling this way all morning, a giddy lightness that made him want to hum. As he watched Amelia meticulously organize files, he felt a deep, peaceful pleasure just being in the same room. The air around her seemed to shimmer.

"Did you ever go to Camp Clearwater?" he finally asked, unable to contain the question any longer. His palms felt slightly sweaty.

Amelia looked up, a faint furrow appearing on her brow. "Clearwater? The one with the terrible lake?" She smiled, and his heart did a little flip.

"That's the one." He felt a grin tug at his lips.

“Oh my gosh, yes! That was so long ago.” She started, “I was at Camp Clearwater the summer I got poison ivy all over my legs, and…” she trailed off, laughing. He loved the sound. He found himself wanting to hear more, wanting to hear every detail.
