Chapter 40: My Girl

Lynx’s POV

I leaned against the receptionist’s desk. It was a surprisingly quiet day. I wish I had called out to spend more time with Brie, but we were short-staffed as is. Plus, I was the only person who could keep Oliver calm enough not to spiral throughout the entire day.  I hated this fate for him, but I was going to help him every step of the way. I may not be able to get Oliver back to himself, but I could try my hardest to get him back to living in normal society. If I tried hard enough, maybe I could reunite him with Victoria. She’d have no choice but to forgive Brie and be her friend again.

I could see that Brie missed her. It would be nice to know Brie had someone other than her parents when I’m not around.

“So, that girl who came to visit Oliver. I’ve never seen her around here before,” Ada said, drawing me out of my thoughts.
