Things had been going pretty well at the shelter lately. Supplies were abundant, especially since the first batch of seeds they'd planted months ago had finally matured.
Right now, Mia, Sean, Chris, and the others were busy harvesting in the greenhouse. Rows of tomatoes surrounded them, some green, some ripe and red, hanging in clusters and looking delicious.
Notably, Oliver had officially joined the shelter. After sharing his adventures with Ethan, he'd been assigned to Chris's team.
"Hey kid, stick with us and work hard. When I finally get married, I'll have my wife set you up with a nice girl," Chris teased the newcomer.
"Uncle Chris, you're still thinking about marriage? Careful, you might hit the jackpot for the fourth time," Brandon joked from the side. He remembered Chris had sworn off women not long ago, but after a few peaceful days, Chris was clearly getting restless again.
