It's dim, sure. But it's early evening, yet. And McKinley still stands out.

"Father. I'm sorry our last conversation ended so... abruptly."

He won't make excuses for Anna; she wouldn't thank him for it. And some of what she said was correct.

McKinley shakes his head.

"Oh-- no," he says quickly. A wry smile. "As I recall, the abruptness of the ending was more or less my doing."
