RORY POV
I smiled at my mom and quietly walked out the front door. I felt a little guilty leaving her since we spent almost every waking moment together, and the sanctuary was both of our responsibilities. But I also needed a break. I was looking forward to spending some time with a human that wasn't my mom, Brian or Mei. And Mei hadn't volunteered at the sanctuary in a few weeks now, so besides my mom and Brian, I hadn't spent time with another human. At least until Oliver and I had hung out.
'On my way!' I texted Oliver.
'Cool, you remember how to get back to my house?'
'Yeah,' I texted back. That was a little white lie. I sort of did.
'Okay, meet me at the trailhead at Saffron. Text me when you get there, and I'll ride up.'
