After Kris took Wildfire out, she decided that the right thing to do was confront Junior and tell him her real feelings. But she wasn't sure she could get enough courage to do it. Kris slid off of Wildfire's back and took him back up to his stall, when next thing she knows she can hear Junior's mustang pulling up.

"Do you think now is the time?" Kris asked Wildfire. Wildfire once again answered with a nudge.

Kris took a deep breath and looked at Childfire. "Okay, I'll try you guys," Kris said. Childfire looked at Kris in an enlightening way.

Kris saw Junior's car pull up.

As Junior got out of the car, he saw Kris in the barn. His eyes lightened up as he saw her smile at him. That was one award winning smile Junior thought, and he was glad it was presented to him. Junior walked in toward Kris, and said hey. He wanted to say so much more. But how much it to much he thought?

"How yah been?" Junior asked.

Kris nudged her shoulders, "I've been better." That was the only thing she could possibly get out of her mouth. Maybe now wasn't the right time, she thought.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Junior asked, looking at the expression on her face.

Kris wanted to say yes, but that was just to be around Junior. But truthfully she never wanted to talk about the accident again. Especially with him, I mean they were just about to kiss, when she got the worst phone call in her life. Nothing was ever the same between them after that night. They both wanted to be with each other, but neither of them knew the other wanted the same thing...

"Umm..." Kris stammered.
