The same room I hadn't touched in months.“It had been six years since I entered, yet the place looked how I remembered. Not a thing out of place,” she said, shaking her head,She took a step closer towards me and close up I saw the walls shift down, the neutral look replaced with something sadder that made my heart clench.“Seeing it made me realize something.

Somehow I managed to rein it in until I'd driven a distance away, as if someone would sense it from where I stood.It had been a good day, a great day even. Over the past month, I'd managed to get Reynolds Family Corps back on its feet, albeit shakily. The financial state was still precarious, but it was better than nothing.
