I waved my hand in response and turned around to leave the room. “Forget it. Mr. Fuller, if you’re so nostalgic about the good old days, feel free to look for your old friend. After all, Rebecca will be more than happy to take you in.”

I couldn’t help but spurt out some rancorous rant once we talked about Rebecca.
