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.”

“I hate how they act like time just wipes away everything they did,” Rebecca muttered, standing up for her.

Rebecca pressed her lips together.

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?

Amelia added, “Seriously.”

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.
