Matt got up very early, he didn't get much sleep last night. He walked towards the stalls to get the horses ready for their daily workout. He couldn't stop thinking about Kris like always.
"Morning Matt," said Jean as she walks towards her son.
He smiled up at her. "Hey mom."
"Todd's coming home in a few days," she told her son excitedly.
"That's great, I've missed him. It'll be a good change to have him around again" he said as he smiled. He soon realized how excited Kris was going to be to know Todd was coming home. Todd and Kris shared a great bond.
"How's Wildfire doing?" she asked him.
"So far so good. Kris is going to work w/him for awhile today" he replied.
Matt saw his mother shifted from side to side uncomfortably.
"Mom," he began "It's what's best for Wildfire," he continued.
She cut him off "I-I know Matt." she sighed. "I'm just not ready to let her back at Raintree." She repeated once again, with hurt in her eyes. Jean still loved and cared for Kris, but was still upset by her actions.
He sighed. "I'm going to go see Wildfire a little later, so if you need me that's where I'll be." He walked off leaving his mother lost in thought.
"Okay" she nodded as she smiled. Things have been a little rocky between her and Matt ever since she kicked Kris out of Raintree. "Are we ever going to be okay again" she asked herself with tears forming in her eyes. She wiped them away.
...
Laura laid awake in bed thinking about her fight with Junior. She felt horrible about what happened that it kept her up half the night.
Her phone rang, not bothering to look at the caller ID, hoping that it was Junior she answered quickly.
"Hello?"
"Good morning Princess." the voice responded.
She soon recognized the voice. "Good morning Daddy." she said with a frown.
"How's my darling daughter doing this morning." asked Senator Nickels.
Irritated and upset as she was, she didn't really feel like telling her dad what happened.
"Princess? He asked. "What's wrong?"
Tears starting forming in her eyes once again.
"It's really nothing Dad" she said wiping her tears away. She hated lying to him since they are so close.
"Laura, talk to me honey."
She hesitated. "Junior and I got into a fight last night." she said softly. She continued explaining what happened.
"Well why don't you go talk to him honey. It's sounds like it's all just a misunderstanding." you hear him say.
"You two love each other, don't let a little fight like this stand in the way."
Laura just stayed quiet on the other end. She knew her father was right. She loved him and she knew she over reacted over the situation.
"Call him, have some breakfast and work it out Laura. I've got a meeting in 15mins" he said. "How about the three of us get together for dinner tmw night?"
"I'll let you know daddy" she replied.
"Okay honey, I will talk to you later. Love you."
"I love you to daddy." she hangs up. "He's right, it's just a little fight. I love him and he loves me." she gets ready.
Back at Dani's
Kris jumped in the shower.
"What the heck happened last night?" asked a confused but excited Dani
"What do you mean? Nothing happened between Kris and I last night Dani. We're just two old friends who happened to have falled asleep together. It was harmless." said Junior as he yawned. He was trying his best to convince his sister it was nothing.
She didn't buy it. "Oh come on Junior. I'm not blind. I know what I saw. You two were very cozy there." She said as she stared at him looking for answers. "You never answered my question yesterday. Do you still have feelings for Kris?" she asked again.
