"Where are you going so early? Stay in bed with me a while longer."

Julian reached out to pull Rayne in closer.

"It's already morning! You're the one sleeping in!", giggled Rayne.

The hot temperatures made him even more sluggish than before, causing him to sleep in for as long as he could.

"Plus I want to go see how they milk the cows this morning. If I go any later, I'll miss the process!", she explained.

Julian rubbed his eyes and pouted, "I guess I'm less interesting than cows".

"It's not like I can milk y--"

She froze, her face turning red.

Julian flashed a devious smile and pulled her in even closer.

"What was that? I don't mind", he whispered.

Rayne giggled and broke free from his embrace, "Listen here! You already kept me up all night last night! I deserve a break from being bullied by you!"

She stood up and got dressed while Julian lay in bed, watching her with a smile.

"Fine, fine. Tell me all about the milking", he teased.

Rayne's cheeks flushed pink as she quickly scurried off to the barn.

Fred and the other ranchers had just gotten set up to begin the milking process.

"Good morning Rayne! You're just in time", said Fred.

Rayne walked over with a big smile, "Good morning! I'm glad I made it."

Fred motioned for her to come closer, "Thanks to the solar panels we were able to install fans and coolers in the barn. The cattle are very happy with it."

He pushed over a small stool for her to sit on while she watched him milk the cow, explaining the process.

"Okay, do you want to try? Don't worry, it's not difficult", he asked.

Rayne nodded and quickly walked over. She followed his instructions and gently pulled on the utter, causing milk to flow out into the bucket below.

"Wow! This is so cool!", she said.

Fred watched her movements closely, ensuring that she was using the correct technique.

"Perfect! You did really well, good job", he complimented.

Rayne stood up after she was finished and gently patted the cow in front of her. She was so happy that she finally had a chance to milk a cow.

Growing up as a typical city girl she rarely even got to see a cow, not to mention milking one. This has always been a small item on her bucket list.

She spent the rest of the morning in the barn, happily petting and brushing the cows and calves.
