CHAPTER 1: Bless the broken road
Ann was walking over Southfork from the stables, she went for a quick riding in the early afternoon. It was a beautiful and sunny day in Dallas. Everything was getting better, Emma was recovering very well and she wasn't addicted to prescription drugs anymore, even if sometimes she had her moments. *She's a young woman, it's normal* thought Ann. Her marriage with Bobby was getting better after that dark period when he put Cliff Barnes in jail for JR's murder. They were even more in love and they spent a lot of time together, in and out of their bedroom. The only bad thing was that Elena turned against the Ewing family and they haven't found a good reason for that. Christopher was trying to find a way to contact her but she has never replied to him. First Pamela that pretended to be another woman and now Elena was planning her revenge, *Poor Christopher* thought Ann. Walking over Southfork, Ann noticed a new car in the parking. Someone got out of the car, a woman. She reached the black Porche and the woman turned to her. She had red dark hair, a bit smaller than Ann and blue eyes.
'Hi, may I help you?' said Ann with a welcoming tone. The woman smiled at her. Ann was sure she had never seen her before.
'Hi. I'm here to see Bobby Ewing. Is he here?' asked, smiling.
'He's in his study.. this way' said Ann, starting to walk over the main door. The woman follower her. Walking over the house, the woman broke the silent.
'You must be.. Ann, right? Bobby's wife' said the woman.
'Yes, I am' said Ann. 'And.. you are?' she asked. They were almost in front of Southfork when the woman said her name.
'I'm Jenna. Jenna Wade' she replied. Ann stood up in front of the door, shocked. *What? Why Jenna would ever come back to Dallas?* thought Ann. Bobby told her about their engagement before he met Pamela and what happened with Lucas, Bobby's biological son. They were engaged also after Bobby's marriage to Pam ended but he went back to Pamela before they got married. She left Dallas to go to live in Switzerland with her children. Ann pushed away her thoughts and opened the door. She went in and Jenna followed her. Ann went to Bobby's study and knocked at the door, she saw Bobby raising his head and nodding to let her come in.
'Hi honey' said Bobby, standing up and staring to walk over her.
'Hi Bobby. Someone wants see you' she said. He made a surprised face like he wasn't expecting anyone. 'Jenna Wade is here to see you'. The amazement rose in him when she said her name.
'What? Jenna?' asked Bobby. Ann wasn't able to reply to him because Jenna walked in his study.
'Hey Bobby' said Jenna. Ann didn't even know that woman but the sound of her voice irritated her.
'Jenna!' Bobby exclaimed. 'It's been a while since the last time I saw you in Dallas' he said, smiling. Jenna walked over him and they hugged.
'Almost 25 years ago' said Jenna, smiling.
'I think I have to go to have a shower now, I will go to Dallas later' said Ann, interrupting them.
'Thank you, Ann. I'm happy I met you' said Jenna, extending her hand to her.
'My pleasure, Jenna' Ann replied, shaking her hand. *What? My pleasure? Not at all* she thought. 'See you later, Bobby'. He gave her a sweet and quick kiss. Ann started to walk over the door.
'Oh please, have a sit' said Bobby. 'So, how things are going in Switzerland?'.
Ann couldn't stand in that room for another minute and she closed the door behind her. In spite of herself, she turned to the door and she saw Bobby laughing. She just started to walk upstairs, trying to forget about that last scene. She went in the bathroom of her bedroom and she opened the water in the shower. She took off her clothes and jumped in. The jet of warm water relaxed her, even if that name kept coming in her head. Jenna Wade.
Ann was ready to go. She decided to wear casual clothes, as she was used to. She was wearing a pair of black jeans, a light blue shirt, a black leather jacket and elegant boots. She had to meet Sue Ellen in Dallas. She walked downstairs and she heard some noises from Bobby's study. Jenna was still there. She walked in, without knocking. Jenna turned and smiled at her. Ann smiled her and walked over Bobby.
'Will you meet Sue Ellen?' asked Bobby.
'Yes, we will look for something to wear for her party on this Saturday' said Ann.
'See you later than, honey. Say hi to Sue Ellen from me' he said smiling.
'I will' she smiled at him back and gave him a very passionate kiss, right in front of Jenna. *Just to be clear* thought Ann. She broke the kiss and started to walk over the door. Her graze met Jenna's. 'Bye, Jenna' she said smiling.
'Bye, Ann' said Jenna. Ann walked out of Bobby's office and closed the door as she used to. She took the keys of her car and went out. She was walking over her car with a smirk on her fare, she wasn't used to act like that but Bobby was her man and no one could ever took him away from her. *Not even his first true love* thought Ann.
Ann arrived to Dallas in time. Sue Ellen was watching in a showcase of a clothing store, Ann parked her car on the roadside. She got our and started to walk over her friend. She was happy to see a familiar face. Sue Ellen turned to her when she got closer.
'Hi, darlin' she said, giving her a friendly kiss on her cheek.
'Hi, Sue Ellen' she responded smiling. The women started to walk over their favorite clothes shop. 'What.. What can you tell me about Jenna Wade?' asked Ann. Sue Ellen stood up in the middle of sidewalk and turned to her.
'Jenna Wade? Why are you asking about her?' said Sue Ellen with a curious tone. They started to walk again.
'Because she's at Southfork now, talking with Bobby' she said.
'She's back to Dallas? I honestly thought she left this town for good' responded Sue Ellen. Ann wasn't sure if Sue Ellen's reaction was positive or negative.
'I don't know if she's back for good or she just step by for say hello' she said. They were in front of the clothes shop and they walked in.
'Well, she was a good woman and I think she really was in love with Bobby, even if Pamela was like a magnet for him. He always came back to her, sooner or later' Sue Ellen took a pause. Ann didn't say a word, she was focusing on her words. They walked in the clothes shop. 'She just had some problems with Pamela, obviously, since they were both in love with him. The Ewing family accepted her when she was with Bobby, especially JR. She looks a saint now, but there was something about her that I never liked about her'. Sue Ellen was looking the beautiful dresses, but Ann couldn't take her eyes off her. She needed answers and she was the one who could help her.
'What?' asked Ann, impatiently.
Sue Ellen sighed. 'Bobby and Jenna almost had a love affair while he was married to Pam, during the first years of their wedding' she said, turning to her. Ann couldn't believe it. *Bobby almost cheated on Pamela with Jenna?* she asked to herself.
'Bobby never told me this' she confessed.
'Nothing happened between them, he realized that he loved Pam and he came to her. Like during his engagement with Jenna, before to set up the wedding, he ran back to Pam' said Sue Ellen. Ann was confused after all these informations. 'But, sweetheart..' Sue Ellen said reaching her, she held her hands. 'Bobby loves you. Jenna is the past and you are his present. Don't worry about her okay?' Sue Ellen smiled at her. 'Let's find the perfect dress, the one that will take Bobby's breath away' she said, winking at her.
Ann took a deep breath and smiled at her friend. 'Okay. Let's start' said Ann. They started to look all those beautiful dresses, they had spoiled for choice. A part of her was happy about what Sue Ellen said, apparently Bobby never loved Jenna as much as he loved Pamela, but now that Pamela is no longer in his life, what she might do? Some worries came in her mind but she decided to push them away and to enjoy that wonderful afternoon with her friend. Ann took a medium-length red dress, it was really pretty but it wasn't good for her. She kept looking.
'Ann!' said Sue Ellen. She turned to her friend and she noticed that she had a beautiful dress in her hands. 'You should try on this one'. Sue Ellen convinced her to try on that long dress. Ann took off her clothes and wore it. She walked out of the dressing room and Sue Ellen's reaction was the proof that her friend was right. She was wearing a long strapless plum dress with a heart neckline. On the dress there was a silver flowers design. Sue Ellen stood up and walked around her, smiling. 'Oh dear, you're flawless' said her. It was one of the most beautiful dress she ever wore. It was perfect for anniversary party of Sue Ellen's foundation.
'I think you couldn't find me a dress more perfect than this one' said Ann thanking her friend.
'Oh Ann, Bobby will have eyes only for you at the party' said Sue Ellen. Ann smiled at her and turned to the mirror in the dressing room. *Bobby will be surprised to see this dress* thought Ann, touching that beautiful dress. 'Okay, now' said her, turning again to her friend, 'We have to find you a dress too, dear'. They laughed and Sue Ellen nodded her head. She really enjoyed the afternoon with Sue Ellen, forgetting about the return of Jenna, until she got home.
They were in their bedroom. At dinner, Christopher and Bobby had talked about work and business and she hadn't want to interrupt the conversation so he had stayed quite. They were both exhausted so they decided to go upstairs a bit earlier that evening. Bobby was sat in the bed and she was coming out of the bathroom . She reached the bed, moved the blankets and sat next him, very close as they were used to be. 'Sorry for the dinner, honey. We have some problems at the Ewing Global. How was your afternoon with Sue Ellen?' asked him. Her head was resting on his shoulder.
'Great, Sue Ellen and I had found the perfect dresses for her party' responded her. She voluntarily didn't describe the dress, she wanted to surprise him. 'And yours?' asked her.
'You mean, with Jenna?' said him. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. 'We just talked about what happened in the last twenty years' said him.
'Seems you had fun with her' said her with a confident tone.
'We just talked, it was good to see her after all these years' said him. Those words were like a knife in her stomach. 'She said that she moved back to Dallas' said him, quietly. *She did what?* thought her. She rose her head.
'What?' asked her. It just came flying out of her mouth. 'Oh.. that's good then' said her with a quiet and sarcastic tone.
'Something's wrong, honey?' asked him.
'No, but Sue Ellen said that she left Dallas to be away from the drama of the Ewings. I'm just surprised that she's back' confessed her.
'Yes, she did but she decided to come back because she wants to give to this town another chance. Charlie and Lucas are not going to come back to Dallas' said him.
'Oh, I see' said her trying to sound indifferent.
'Are you jealous, Annie?' said him, joking. *Me? Not at all. I just can't handle her when she's around you* thought her. Ann turned to him and smiled. Bobby put his arms around her shoulder and hugged her. 'You shouldn't be. She's just a friend and you're my beloved wife' said him, kissing her forehead.
Ann gently caressed his face and smiled at him. 'I love you, Bobby' said her with a romantic tone. Bobby slowly lowered his head and they kissed. After that kiss she rested her head on his chest and he started to play with her hair.
'I love you too, Annie' whispered him. She could spend hours hugging him and never get bored. He loved her, she knew that and she couldn't help but feel blessed for his love. They held each other until they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
