I stop by Zee's office, give her a huge hug, and tell her I'm working on some plans. I don't know exactly how or when, but I know— in my mind, in my heart, in my gut — I'm coming back here. 

"Marley, it's been such a pleasure meeting you," Zee says warmly. "You know what you have to do now, right?"

She looks at me intently, taking in my boundless energy and eagerness. 

"Keep it alive," she says. "I know you'll be back down here. Just keep it alive."
