The afternoon sun slanted across the office, painting golden stripes on the floor. He watched as Chloe carefully taped up a presentation board, a feeling of deep satisfaction, a quiet joy, washing over him.

He felt a strong urge to make a connection.

"Chloe," he said, his voice softer than usual. "You ever go to Camp Sunshine?"

Her head snapped up, a look of surprise on her face. "How did you know? You did, too?"

He felt a rush of happy energy. "Yeah. I remember the ropes course, and the swimming. Did you ever go to the camp dance?"

He felt such a powerful sense of connection, a desire to know everything about her.
