 I was reacquainted with Jasper in 2013 when I returned to camp after a 17-year hiatus. He was old now, like me, married with kids of his own, but somehow even more enviable. Jasper walked through camp like a visiting prince, an entourage of 10-year-olds tugging at his sleeves. I get it. When Jasper shines his attention on you, it feels like you've been invited to the ball.
