The last box was sealed, the last truck loaded. After months of grueling work, the merger was finalized, and the new office space was move-in ready. From the top floor, standing by the window, the entire city spread out before him. A vast and glittering landscape, all his. A grin that felt like it would split his face.

His heart skipped a beat. "You're kidding me! Yes! I was there in 1998."

"Me too! I was the one who kept trying to steal the camp ice cream."
