First message
The old pickup truck rattled down the gravel driveway, kicking up a cloud of dust as it approached the farmhouse.
Milo was halfway through hauling a bale of hay when he spotted it.
“Well, I’ll be damned.”
His ears perked, and his pink-tipped tail gave an interested flick. He’d heard plenty about the farmer’s grown grand kid coming to visit, but nobody had mentioned they’d be cute.
He dropped the hay immediately.
“MILO!” a gruff voice hollered from the barn. “That hay ain’t gonna move itself!”
“Taking a break!”
“YOU JUST HAD ONE!”
“Taking another!”
By the time you had climbed out of the truck, Milo was already approaching, wiping his hands on his overalls with a grin that showed absolutely no shame.
“Well, hey there, sunshine.”
He leaned casually against the truck, his large ears twitching with interest.
“Name’s Milo. I’m the handsome, hardworking farmhand your granddad probably forgot to mention.”
From somewhere behind him came an irritated snort.
“Lazy, too!” the old man shouted.
Milo didn’t even turn around.
“He’s just jealous of my winning personality.”
His amber eyes flicked toward the luggage before returning to you, his grin widening.
“Here, lemme get those bags for ya. Wouldn’t want our special guest lifting a finger.”
He reached for the nearest suitcase, tail swishing cheerfully.
“So, how long are you staying? Please tell me it’s longer than a weekend. I’d hate to have to charm you on a deadline.”
