As Julia opened her eyes, she saw that it was a sunny day. That made her smile. When she noticed that her husband was still asleep next to her, her smile grew bigger. A sunny day when neither of them had to go to work … that promised to be a very good day indeed. She sighed in contentment and rolled on her side to face her husband. He was so handsome. She detailed his face and body as her eyes moved down the bed.

"You know I could press charges against you for stalking?" William asked, his voice sleepy, his eyes barely opened.

"Well, if you press charges what should I do when you use your circumscope to spy on me?"

"Alright. I will not press charges then." he replied, kissing Julia good morning.

"I don't want to get up. I want to stay here all day." she said, cuddling in his side.

"It's sunny outside, it would be a shame to stay in."

"Are you saying that you don't want to stay here, in bed, with your wife?" Julia teased.

"I would love to."

"But?"

"Well, the inspector gate me tickets to the Western Extravaganza and they are leaving at the end of the week."

"It brings back some ranch boy memories, doesn't it?" Julia asked.

"Yes. We should go, it will be fun."

"Alright, let's go." Julia said, sitting up in the bed.

"Now?"

"Well, you said ..."

"I didn't say we have to go right now. I quite like the idea you had. You, me, this bed ..."

"Oh. Well, I'm all yours Mr Murdoch. Show me what a ranch boy can do."

"You were right, this is so fun!" Julia said, kissing his cheek as she won yet another game at the fair.

"I prefered our morning activites." William mumbled.

"You're such a sore loser." she laughed. "That's kind of cute … if you are five years old."

"I brought you here so I could impress you but you beat me at everything! That's embarassing."

"Don't worry. You impressed me earlier today." she reassured him, kissing him quickly on the lips. "Now let's find another game I can beat you at." she laughed, taking his hand and pulling him along the path.

Before they could reach another game, the met the inspector and a few minutes later George walked up to them. They talked for a while and finally joined the line to see the show. He was trying to hide it but Julia could tell William was relly excited. His childhood was catching up with him.

"You look like a child. It's so cute." she whispered in his hear.

They finally sat down and watched the show. Julia had to admit she was enjoying the different acts. But what she liked most was the look of pure wonder on William's face. She took his hands in hers, turning back to the show to see a cowboy shoot at his partner. She had missed the beginnng but something was definitely wrong.

After her day of work, she walked to the station house to see if William was done for the day. She walked in his office but it was empty so she went to look for George. He explained that the detective was in the interrogation room with a suspect.

"And he caught him with a lasso!" George finished his explanation.

"A lasso?"

"Yes. The inspector said that he jumped on a horse and raced after the suspect who was getting away and he caught him with a lasso, like a real cowboy!"

"Why am I never present when he does things like that?" Julia thought aloud, getting a strange look from Goerge. "Could you let him know that I stopped by George? And tell him to come home as soon as he can?"

"Alright Doctor, I'll tell him." he answered as she walked out of the station house.

When William got back home an hour later, he was surprised to find the house empty. As he hung his jacket and hat, he found a lasso on the floor. He picked it up, a quizical look on his face.

"I was made aware of a talent of yours that I had never heard before." Julia said, coming down the stairs with one of William's explorer hats on her head. "And you will have to prove to me that you can actually do it."

"What?"

"Catch me with your lasso William. If or when you get me, you can do whatever you want with me."
