Ryan’s mature, composed expression went silent for a moment. After thinking it over, he finally stood up and set a business card on the table. “If anything comes up, you can always call me. That line will always go through.”

She wasn’t sure if she should say anything.

Ryan’s appearance had already reopened Amelia’s old wounds. If she brought up the Quinn family now, would it just make her feel even worse?

Rebecca’s tone was defiant. “I just can’t.”

“You’re even more stubborn than me,” Amelia said, sounding half amused and half exasperated. “Honestly, if you want to start your own business, that attitude won’t get you far.”

“How come?” Rebecca piped up.
