Kris woke up the next morning to a cloudy, snowy, and freezing cold day. She laid in bed and looked out the window and marveled at how the weather matched her mood completely. Junior had not come home until three in the morning. Hearing the door open that early in the morning had woken her up but her eye lids were to heavy to keep open while he finished his conversation on his cell phone and made it to bed. By the time he reached the bed the sleep had taken over her and he had woken up at six to go to yet another meeting. As Kris continued to gaze out the frosty window and collect her thoughts her cell beeped indicating a missed call. She turned over and retrieved the phone off the the marble night stand. She saw a big bold number six on the caller ID signaling that she had six missed calls. She opened the flip phone and saw Dani and Juniors names light up. One was from Junior and five were form Dani. She pushed the voice mail icon and put the phone to her ear.

"Hey K it's me. I'm sorry I did not get to see you this morning but Calvin and I had to go to breakfast with the president of the Wind Turbine company. I guess you are still asleep... Well I wanted to talk to you but I have a meeting in ten minutes and I have to go.. I will call you later" she heard Juniors voice say over the phone.

Kris was not surprised. It wasn't like it was the first time she had eaten breakfast by her self but she tried not to let her problems get her down because she knew what Dani was calling to say. She knew that Dani was going to tell Matt the big news last night and she really wanted to know how it went. She pressed the button when Dani's name came up on her phone and heard it ringing. After one and a half rings she heard Dani's perky voice on the other end. "Kris" Dani screamed almost busting Kris's ear drums. "I told him and he was really freaked out at first but now he is so excited. We just told Jean and Pablo at breakfast and we will tell my dad at lunch" Dani said with out taking a breath. "How did they take it? Were they happy for you two?" Kris asked. "They were both so happy but Jean was exstatic" Dani said.

She sounded do happy that it almost made Kris jealous. Hear Dani and Matt was so in love with each other and having a baby and then there's her and Junior who were having many problems. She is stuck in this hotel room while Juniors out doing his own thing getting to meet and interview with people. It had been forever since they had spent any quality time together or even had a real conversation for that matter and most of the time when they had a real conversation it would lead to a big fight. She knew she contributed to part of that. Racing had taken over most of her free time hen they were at home but she missed him. She missed laying in bed with him and eating dinner every night with him. She missed having him kiss her on her nose knew she woke up every morning or feeling him hold her at nigh as she slept. She missed all of it and sometimes wondered if her and Junior would make it. Would they make it to there ten year anniversary? Would they even make it to there fifth?

"Kris" Dani yelled snapping her out of her thoughts. "Yea...that's good Dani" Kris replied trying her best to sound happy but no succeeding at all. "Kris what's wrong" Dani asked in a caring voice. "Nothing. I'm fine. Everything's fine" she answered trying to trick Dani into believing everything was really fine. "Kris...I know you. You tell me everything unless it is about my brother and then you try and hide it. Now tell me what's going on. What did he do?" Dani asked sounding firm.

"I don't know...things just seem really bad now" Kris said trying to find a way to explain it but not really sure how. "What do you mean bad?" Dani said. She was trying to figure it out but wasn't having any luck. "I don't know... We hardly every see each other and when we do its just a quick conversation about work or racing. We don't connect to each other any more...I miss him Dani" Kris said sniffling. Dani could tell she was crying and felt really bad for her.

"Kris I had not idea" Dani said sounding upset as well. "Sometimes I think about maybe..." Kris was now sobbing and could not bring her self to finish her thought. "No Kris...No" Dani said crying as well. "It can't be that bad" she said trying to reason with Kris. "It is... for the past two years it has been like this. We never spend any time together and when we do have some time to our selves we end up fighting and it had been like this for so long Dani" Kris said with her tears streaming down her face. "But you two can't split up...you Can't...you just can't" Dani said. She wanted to believe that Kris was just kidding and soon she would start laughing but when she heard her best friend break down over the phone she knew that Kris and Juniors problems were serious and from what she understood they were one step away from splitting up...forever.
