The afternoon light cast long shadows across the office, painting the walls in hues of gold. Olivia sat at her desk, the gentle tapping of her pen against her notebook was the only sound. She was contemplating the week ahead, and feeling a sense of quiet preparedness. Each task felt less like a chore and more like an opportunity.

"Olivia, can you proofread this document for me?" asked Ben, bustling over.

"Camp Sunshine? No way!" he exclaimed. "I was a camper there too!"

Olivia chuckled, a warm sound. "Really? Remember the epic capture the flag games?"
