We can catch up on old times. Look, Charlie, I’m a bit busy right now.” Emory looked back at Cam and winked. “I’ll call you and we can work out the details…Yes, it was great to hear your voice, too and it’ll be great to see you again.” Emory laughed. “Well, you’ll have to judge for yourself. I am a lot older than when we were together…No, I bet you still look great. Okay…next weekend then…Bye, Charlie.”
