With a triumphant yell Will reached the maintop and pulled himself unto the small platform. Peter, who had followed close behind, smiled at the joy in the boy's eyes. He clearly remembered his own first trip to the maintop and the pride he'd felt then.

Their bodies were touching slightly, and it felt like the beginning of something good.
