Arriving at The Ranch

The caravan set off towards Fred's Ranch in the north.

Inside, Liam was driving while Rayne and the others were sitting in the living space.

"Ah, I'm so excited. It's like a small camping trip", said Ella. She occasionally looked out the window, checking out the surrounding area.

Rayne looked up from the book she was reading, "I hope you keep this same energy on the way home too", she teased. 

"Is it weird that I already miss Julian?", she asked. This would be the first time they were going to spend so much time apart and it felt a little strange.

"Nah, girl. I miss Noah too, but I guess it's different since we can't spend ALL of our time together like you two can", said Ella. Her hand subconsciously moved to touch the pearl pendant of her necklace.

Rayne giggled, "The guys are probably having an even harder time right now. I can already imagine it"

They both laughed for a while discussing their love lives and the birth of Laura's son.
