AT THE SANCTUARY
RORY POV
When we got back to the sanctuary, Brian hopped off the ATV near the back gate and offered to check the fence perimeter to ensure there weren't any other holes. My mom and I checked the security footage and were relieved to find nothing unusual. Then, my mom called Steven Whitman, the local warden. She had his number saved, and we were used to keeping in contact with Steven. My mom paced as we waited for Steven, or Whitman, as he liked to be called, near the front gate, and I nearly jumped when I got a text message. It was from Oliver.
'Hey there, it's me, Oliver. I hope you're doing well. Let's hang out soon. I'd love to hear more about your sanctuary. Coffee?'
I smiled. Gorgeous Oliver wanted to hang out with me. I felt special.
'Yes! Soon!' I texted him a smiley face emoji too.
'Great, let me know a time when you're free, and we can meet up.'
