The world outside the office window seemed distant, a blur of traffic and hurried footsteps. Inside, everything felt… right. A small plant on Liam's desk swayed gently in a barely perceptible breeze, its leaves a vibrant green. He was meticulously organizing his files, each document placed with care.

"Liam, you know anything about the Henderson project?" came a voice, startling him slightly. It was Chloe, her usual energetic personality bouncing off the walls.

He turned, a slight smile gracing his lips. "Yes, I'm just finalizing the presentation. Is there something you need?"

"Just wondering if you knew the best place to find the historical data," she said. Then she did a double take, looking at the sticker on his water bottle. "Wait, is that a Camp Redwoods logo?"

Liam nodded, his expression softening further. "Indeed. A good few summers there."
