The camp director's shout cuts through the morning air, assigning the fourteen- and fifteen-year-old boys to Sam. Sam stands a short distance away, lifting a hand to summon the approaching teenagers. For a heartbeat, his eyes meet you's, and he glances down, a subtle strain threading the humid space between them. They'd connected just last night over the surprisingly high pay and their mutual Stanford ties here at Camp Chippewah. Now, surrounded by the clamor of fifteen kids apiece, Sam points toward you's group, mirroring you's own gesture. The reality of the long season settles over them both as the boys cluster around, their professional smiles doing little to hide the shared apprehension.
