The next morning after breakfast, Vaughn headed over to the ranch to meet the rancher on the island. He looked around the island and nearly smiled. He definitely liked it on the island, it wasn't stuffy like the city and was full of fresh air. His boots clinked as he walked across the bridge, up ahead he could see an outline of a person in the fields.

When he got nearer, he almost couldn't believe who he saw and nearly dropped his jaw. Vaughn couldn't contain his happiness and ran over to the figure, nearly knocking her over as he embraced her in a tight hug. Vaughn smiled as he buried his nose into her hair, inhaling her familiar scent of citrus.

"Vaughn?" asked a muffled voice. "I'm happy to see you and all, but can you please let me breath?"

Vaughn widened his eyes and immediately let go, blushing as he did so.

Genesis took a deep breath before she chuckled. "It's nice to see you Vaughn. I see you got the job at the animal trading company. How've you been?" She asked as she put down her watering can.

Vaughn smiled and tipped down his hat. "I've been good. How about you? How's living on this island for the past 2 years?"

Genesis smiled and looked fondly at her ranch. "It's good. I love it here. It's going to get more exciting now that more people are moving here. The cost for seeds and livestock animal feed is going to be a lot cheaper too."

Vaughn nodded, loving the fact that he reunited with Genesis.

"What days are you here Vaughn? We can hang out or something since you don't like people that much." Genesis said.

"I'm here on Wednesdays and Thursdays." Vaughn answered, showing his soft side to the only person he would show it to. "So what do you grow on this farm?"

Genesis smiled and led him around. "Well, this season I'm growing yams, otherwise known as sweet potatoes, green and yellow peppers, carrots, eggplants, spinach, pumpkins, grapes, and cauliflower. My apple, persimmon, pomegranate, and coffee trees are going to bear fruit this season as well. I also make butter, cheese, yogurt, yarn, mayonnaise, rice flour, soybean flour, buckwheat flour, tea, wine, mead, and champagne."

Vaughn looked very surprised at the last three items. "Wine? Mead? Champagne?"

Genesis smiled and nodded. "Yes. I have a cellar to age Wine and Mead. Mead is just basically honey wine and Champagne is sparkling wine."

"Where is the cellar?" Vaughn asked curiously.

"In my house, come on." Genesis said and lead him to her large farmhouse.

Genesis lead Vaughn to her cellar door. It was in the floor at the corner of her living room. She opened the door to reveal a ladder which they both climbed down. She then turned on the light.

Vaughn was quite amazed at what he saw. He saw a fairly large room filled with large barrels. All the barrels were labelled according to the type of wine it was and when it started to ferment.

What Vaughn didn't know, was that all the barrels had charms on them to speed up the fermenting process by several times.

After a short visit to the wine cellar, Genesis let him taste one of the wines she made. She poured the red sparkling wine into two wine glasses and handed one to Vaughn. He took the glass graciously and took a small sip. He widened his eyes in surprise and touched his lips with slight awe.

"It's sweet." Vaughn said, licking his lips slightly.

Genesis smirked. "This type of wine is one of my most popular wines. I made it from pomegranates and grapes together. Girls love it because it's not extremely bitter and it has a low alcohol content."

Vaughn looked at the wine with thought and kept drinking while Genesis took small sips from hers.

"Would you like to stay for lunch or do you have work to do?"

"I have some work, but we can go out for dinner if you want." Vaughn suggested, finishing off the last of the wine in his glass.

Genesis nodded. "See you at Nathan's diner at 6pm okay?"

"Alright." Vaughn said and tipped his hand down.

"See you later Vaughn, it was good to see you again." Genesis said, smiling brightly at him. The smile made Vaughn's heart soar within his chest. There was nothing in the world that was more beautiful than Genesis' smile to Vaughn.

After Vaughn left, Genesis went back to work on watering the crops. Perhaps it would be beneficial to invest in a hose.

On the way back to the animal shop, Vaughn had felt someone bump into him as he was lost in his thoughts about Genesis.

"O-Oh s-s-sorry about that..." a voice came.

Vaughn looked down to see a girl with long black hair and large round glasses. She was wearing a pink and purple dress and had a ribbon tied in her hair.

Vaughn just grunted and was about to leave seeing as the girl was fine. He was stopped however when he felt a hand pull on his sleeve. Vaughn looked down with mild annoyance as the girl shyly clutched to his sleeve.

"You need something?" Vaughn asked in his usual gruff and cold tone. The girl recoiled slightly and blushed in embarrassment.

"U-Um...my name is S-Sabrina. I-I've never seen you h-here before...a-are you knew to the i-island?" Sabrina asked.

"I'm the animal trader on the island. Names Vaughn." Vaughn relied curtly, for some reason the way Sabrina looked at him made him feel uncomfortable.

"I-I'm sorry for b-b-bumping into you...p-perhaps I c-can make it u-up to you? L-Lunch maybe?" Sabrina invited hopefully.

Vaughn shook his head. "No thanks. I'm busy." Vaughn said, turning her down instantly without a second thought. Vaughn was about to leave again when Sabrina once again pulled on his sleeve. Vaughn instantly whirled around and scowled deeply at the girl. "What now?"

Sabrina gulped. "I-I was wondering i-if you would l-like to have lunch or d-dinner another t-t-time? To g-get to know e-each other b-b-better?"

Vaughn's annoyance for Sabrina clearly showed on his face. "No thanks. I have plans, besides, I'm not on the island for most of the week anyways." Vaughn said coldly. "Now please let go, I need to get to work."

Sabrina squeaked and instantly let go of Vaughn's sleeve. He scowled at Sabrina once more before heading back to the animal shop. She couldn't help but sigh sadly as her attempt to get to know the cowboy failed miserably.

"Hey Vaughn, how was your visit to Gen's?" Julia asked. She was currently reading a fashion magazine while lounging on the couch.

Vaughn sighed as he opened the fridge to get the jug of milk. After pouring himself a glass, he turned back to Julia. "I met Genesis before...I guess I was real happy seeing her again."

Julia looked at Vaughn with great surprise. "Really? You've met Genesis before?"

Vaughn nodded. "You know that girl I told you about? The one who took me in from the streets and gave me a place to stay?"

Julia nodded then widened her eyes. "No way! You mean that girl was Genesis? Wow! Talk about a small world!"

Vaughn nodded mutely as he drank his milk. Julia then gave him a look he didn't like.

"So...you like Genesis...don't you?" Julia asked slyly.

Vaughn nearly choked on his milk and scowled at her, his cheeks pinked as he hid his face beneath the shadow of his tipped cowboy hat.

"Oooohh! You do!" Julia squealed.

"What of it?" Vaughn snapped, his face still red.

"It's so cute!" Julia said, giggling in excitement. "Don't worry Vaughn! I'll help you! I'm sure Natalie and Lanna will as well!"

"Oh no, you're not telling anyone!" Vaughn growled.

"What are you two yelling about? I can hear you two from all the way at the back of the shop!" Mirabelle said as she rounded the corner.

"Vaughn likes Genesis! As in Like-like!" Julia squealing, ratting out Vaughn's secret to Mirabelle.

"Julia!" Vaughn groaned.

"Oh you do? Congratulations Vaughn! I always knew that there's a girl out there you'd like! And Genesis is such a sweetheart too! She'd be good for you!" Mirabelle gushed.

"No mom! You don't get it! Genesis is THAT girl, the one who took Vaughn in before he met us!" Julia said. "Now they've reunited! It's so romantic!"

"Oh really?" Mirabelle asked, obviously very happy with the revelation.

Vaughn groaned and stomped to his room, leaving Mirabelle and Julia to chatter behind him.
