“I am. Can't say it's a pleasant surprise, though,” answered Joyce.

Immediately after hearing the witty reply, Justin broke into laughter. It took him a while to settle down. “You are just adorable, aren't you, Joyce?”

In response to that, Joyce smiled awkwardly. “So why exactly are you here at my house, Mr. Sutter?”

Joyce wondered why the man kept calling her by her first name as though they were close. I've only met him once. The guy's basically a stranger to me.

“Mr. Sutter?” Caitlin glared at Joyce discontentedly before Justin could say anything. “This is Justin! Have you really forgotten all about him?”

“I know what his name is, but what is it about him that you keep insisting that I've forgotten?” Joyce was baffled by her mother's words.

Caitlin could not help but sigh when she saw how confused her daughter was. “You really do have poor memory, don't you?”

“You can't blame Joyce, Mrs. Rivers. After all, we've been apart for twenty years. She was so young then; it's only natural that she can't recall who I am.” Justin remained smiling as he walked over to Joyce and extended his hand to her. “We finally meet again after two decades, Joyce, so please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Justin Sutter, your neighbor twenty years ago. Back then, you would always call me Justin.”
