Chapter 13 - LINDA LOSES ACCESS

Linda tried to visit the sanctuary.

Claire refused.

Not because she owned the property.

Because Linda was not staff, volunteer, board member, or donor.

No role.

No access.

Linda called that petty.

Claire said:

“You wanted to prove I couldn’t be trusted around animals and money.”

Linda snapped:

“I wanted Ryan protected.”

“From what?”

Linda had no answer.

That was the pattern.
