The printer's incessant whirring faded into a background hum. "Camp Green Meadows?" It was the last thing Chris expected to hear from Olivia, his stoic coworker. He felt a spark of pure elation.

"You're kidding!" he exclaimed, a smile stretching across his face. He felt like he could fly.

"Nope! Years and years."

Chris felt his smile widening. "The color wars! The crafts! The talent shows, the campfires...I remember it all! Did you ever..." He started peppering her with questions. His hands were gesticulating wildly.

He felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he just had to keep talking.
