I Wanted You to Win Over Your Future Father-in-Law, Not Offend Him!

Old Bryan listened to the busy tone coming from his phone and slowly put it away.

He bent down to pick up the recording equipment on the ground, routed the recording through his phone to send it to an email address, and then turned to pack his clothes.

Richard: *...Damn it, I
