Billy and Bobby are located at points $A$ and $B$, respectively. They each walk directly toward the other point at a constant rate; once the opposite point is reached, they immediately turn around and walk back at the same rate. The first time they meet, they are located 3 units from point $A$; the second time they meet, they are located 10 units from point $B$. Find all possible values for the distance between $A$ and $B$.
