Junior arrived back at the hotel at midnight. He hadn't seen or talked to Kris in a day and a half and while he missed her his wind turbine project was going so good that it was hard to focus on any thing else. He walked in the lobby of the massive hotel and went straight to the elevator. While he waited for the doors to open he felt a vibrate in his pocket. He pulled out the slim phone and looked at the caller ID before putting it up to his ear.

"Hey Calvin" he said excited. Just then the doors opened to let him on the elevator. He continued to talk about the future investors with Calvin on the way up and as he walked down the hall to his room. He slid the card in the door and opened it to allow himself in.

"I really think they will sign on tomorrow" Junior replied to a question Calvin had asked. As Junior continued to talk to Calvin he went in to the bed room expecting to find Kris asleep but was surprised to find the bed neatly made. Thinking she must be in the bathroom he went in there to check. When he saw the lights off he kind of began to worry.

"Hey Calvin" Junior said stopping Calvin in mid sentence.

"Have you seen Kris at all today" he said. Calvin had a room right down the hall and some times he would come looking for Junior so he hoped Calvin had seen her today.

"um...No. Not today. Why?" Calvin asked.

"She's not here" Junior said now beginning to panic.

"What do you mean she's not there...where else can she be?" Calvin asked also a little worried.

"I don't know I left before she got up and I haven't seen her since..." Junior trailed off as he noticed a plane schedule on the counter and the eight pm flight back to California was highlighted.

"Junior you still there" Calvin asked.

"I have to go. I think Kris left" Junior said quickly.

"What do you mean left" Calvin asked.

"I don't know I will call you when I find out more" he said hanging up the phone. Junior tried to call her phone but it was cut off so then he tried the air port and after about twenty minutes he had finally gotten some one to tell him that a Mrs.. Davis had been on that flight.

Junior was really mad. Why had she just left and not said anything to him. He dialed Dani's number and heard her answer but not very nice.

"What" Dani said annoyed.

"Hey its me" Junior said in case Dani didn't realize that since she was being so hateful.

"I know what do you want?" she asked just as mean.

"What's going on with Kris" he asked getting just as mad as she was.

"She flew home. In fact I am on my way to pick her up at the air port now" Dani replied calming down a little.

"Why did she leave?" Junior asked even though he had a good idea.

"Why do you think Junior?" Dani asked. "She had be miserable for the past two weeks there. Holding on to some hopes that you will put work on the back burner for a few hours and spend some time with her but you haven't and she is tired of it. She is tired of not spending any time with you and she is tired of fighting with you in the rare moments that she does see you" Dani added. Junior knew he had made some mistake with Kris but didn't realize that he had hurt her that much.

"I didn't know she was that upset" Junior said running his hand through his hair.

"Yea well maybe you should spend less time at work and more time with your wife" Dani told him rather harshly. "Listen Junior I am here at the airport and I have to go" Dani replied as she hung up the phone with out letting him reply.

"Wait Dani will you..." Junior was cut off by the dial tone.

Dani parked in the airport parking lot and mad her way in to the crowed airport. She found out which gate Kris would be getting off at so she made her way towards that gate. She sat down and watched at the door for the people to began getting off.

She could feel her phone vibrate in her pocket and looked at the caller ID. When she saw Juniors name on the caller ID she declined the call and continued to wait for Kris. Finale Kris came through the gate and Dani made her way over to her. With out either one saying a word they hugged each other.

"I am so sorry Kris...I had no idea that things had gotten so bad" Dani said as she hugged Kris.

Kris didn't say much as they made there way to the luggage pick up to get her suitcases and then made there way to Dani's car. Once they were in the car and on there way home Kris finale spoke. "Thanks for picking me up" she said softly.

"Sure no problem...listen Kris any time you need me or want to talk to me I'm here" Dani said glancing form the road to Kris.

"I know...sometimes it's just weird" Kris said staring out the window.

"What is" Dani asked not really knowing what Kris was talking about.

"It's just...hes your brother and I know you care about me and I know we are friends but I feel weird talking to you about mine and your brother's marriage" Kris said still staring out the window.

"Look I love my brother but I also love my sister-in-law and right now I am on your side" she answered Kris as she stared at the road ahead.

"Do you think you and Junior will stay together" Dani asked breaking the silence that was beginning to form. Even though Dani asked she wasn't sure she wanted the answer. Her and Kris had been so close since they had gotten married. Kris was in sister in so many ways and when ever she thought about Junior and Kris splitting up it broke her heart. She knew that if that happened then they would not be able to be in the same room and then the family that had formed between the Ritters and the Davis family would start to crumble.

"I don't know" Kris said quietly and honestly.

"How do you feel about it" Dani asked quietly as well.

After a very long pause Kris answered "I can't imagine my life with out your brother" Kris answered almost silently. In fact she wasn't sure if Dani could even hear her but she had.

"How do imagine your life" Dani asked. She hoped that she wasn't asking something too personal to Kris but she wanted to know where Kris was and where she was coming from.

"I don't know any more" Kris answered truthfully.

Before Dani could ask another question she realized that they were at Raintree already. Dani and Matt had been living in the Bunk house ever since they had gotten married and Kris and Junior had an apartment a few miles away.

Dani pulled up to the house and they got out. No one knew that Kris was home and they were going to be so shocked to see her especially with out Junior.

"You ready" Dani asked reading Kris's mind.

"Yea" Kris said opening the door to Raintree...TO BE CONTINUED!!
