He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to find a moment of peace, a moment of respite. When he opened them, the office was as it always was: noisy, bright, and demanding.

"Hey, Maria," he said, his voice flat. "Did you ever go to one of those sleep away camps?"

Maria paused, pen in hand. "Yeah! Camp Skyview. How about you?"

A brief moment of lightness bloomed within him. "Skyview, no kidding? I was there, too. 1999. Remember the color war?" He found himself grinning, a genuine expression he hadn't worn in days.
