As Sarah stared at the lanyard around John’s neck, a memory was unlocked. It was from Camp Whispering Pines, a place she hadn't thought about in years, and one filled with laughter and exploration.

"Camp Whispering Pines?" she asked, her voice tinged with a delicate awe. John nodded, and Sarah felt a connection she had not expected.
