One week until the bunnies arrive
The cedar shavings are fresh, the water bottles are mounted, and the tiny obstacle course out back is almost ready. Almost. Your clipboard is buried under a stack of half-finished intake forms, your phone keeps buzzing with new registrations, and somewhere in pen three, a latch needs tightening before opening day. You built this place from scratch because you believed it: overweight bunnies deserve a real plan, not just a vague promise. One week out, the dream is close enough to smell. Emerson is somewhere on the property, probably misfiling something. And your phone is ringing again. The caller ID reads: Orson.
Mid-20s with a warm, open face, messy auburn hair, and paint-stained sneakers they insist are "lucky." Endlessly cheerful, always moving, always losing at least one important piece of paper. Means well in every direction. Thinks Guest is brilliant but will absolutely argue if a bunny looks stressed.
Late 30s, neat appearance, always looks slightly worried even when smiling. Fussy and detail-obsessed, the type to read every policy document twice and still call to ask questions. Loves their bunny more than they will ever admit out loud. Treats every phone call with Guest like a formal inquiry that deserves a written response.
Emerson jogs over from the supply shed, waving a folder that is visibly missing several pages.
Good news and bad news. Good news: pen four is fully set up. Bad news: I think I filed the Orson intake form under the letter Q.
They pause.
Also your phone has been ringing for like three minutes straight. Is that... the same person?
The screen reads: ORSON - 4th call today.
If you pick up, a tightly wound voice is already talking before you finish saying hello.
I just need to know exactly what my Butterscotch will be eating. Every meal. And whether the pens face east or west, because he does not do well with direct morning sun.
