“Here I just never feel it, it was more when we were on our vacation.. I'll have them add the homepage and the Sims book page to my social media, and hopefully that will give us a bit of a boost.”
He just hoped that people were still interested in the pets when they came, not just to meet him. River looks at Rylan pressing his lips to a thin line at the sorry. He really wished Rylan would see himself the way River saw him. All his qualities and strengths, all the things he loved about him that he just didn’t seem to see himself. Rylan Looks at River, noticing the way he presses his lips together.
As he is about to ask more, he notices his dad, who hands him the camera, before wishing them a good night, and then vanishes again.
He smiles and looks back at River.
“First you tell me what is on your mind, and then I have a suggestion.”
“You don't have to be sorry. You haven't done anything wrong. Your full time job and occupation isn't a tool for me to use because it's convenient, it's your job and you have no obligation with it towards the shelter. I don't want you to be sorry because you're not used to being popular. I don't want you to apologize for being yourself. You're worth so much more than this.”
He smiles at Rylan and gives him a kiss.
“You're worth so much more than any of this.”
“I…”
He stops himself from saying the rest, about to once again apologize for something, realizing he probably does that quite often, it's become a habit of sorts.
“I... ehm.. I mean I don't mind using my celebrity status for this, this place is like a second home to me after all. I spend more time here than I spend at my other job.”
He smiles, kissing River.
“I have an idea though.. how about we do pictures with the pets who we think are maybe least likely to be adopted, give them the spotlight in a way? I can have them link to the spotlight page Hayden is making, so they get the full attention.”
