The sales figures were abysmal. Sarah stared at the numbers on her screen, a knot of worry tightening in her stomach. She could not fail. She would find a way to turn things around.

She stood up, her jaw set. She would not let this defeat her.

Mark, her coworker, gave her a questioning look. "You okay?"

"Just… trying to think," Sarah replied, the grit in her voice unmistakable.

"You know, I get that look on my face when I'm strategizing," Mark said, leaning back in his chair. "Did you ever go to Camp Silver Lake?"

Sarah's face softened. Camp Silver Lake. She had learned so much about herself there. "Yes, I did! It's where I first learned to be a leader."

"No way! I was there too!" Mark exclaimed. "Remember the canoeing competition?" Sarah's lips curved into a smile. This shared history was her secret weapon.
