As Mary walked into the office, she felt a profound change. The familiar knot in her stomach was gone. Her shoulders were relaxed, and the world seemed to be in Technicolor. She wanted to laugh.

She found herself chatting with Tom, who was usually taciturn. "How are you today?" she asked.

Tom looked up, surprised. "Mary? What is it? You seem… lively."

Mary shrugged. "It's a beautiful day. Tom, did you ever visit Camp Crystal Lake?"

Tom's eyes widened. "Crystal Lake? I remember that camp! How do you know about that?"

Mary smiled. "It was the perfect time for me. I think I used to see you during the camp’s arts and crafts sessions."
