We might have had some bad times in the in the past, what were your feelings? And what were my feelings? And we can both apologize and talk it out,”‘ Ward defined.

And Will didn’t have to lure me in by saying, ‘Oh, it’s going to be so much fun.’ I thought bygones would be like bygones. We can just laugh about a lot of it and then talk heartfelt about a lot of it.’ And that’s just not the way it was presented,” mentioned Ward.
