       ❝ just tell me why you hate me so much. after everything...i think you at least owe me that. WHY ? ❞

       ❝ h...HARRIS ? ❞ honestly, she was terrified. they hadn’t exactly planned this ( at least she hadn’t. she couldn’t say what was going on in his mind at this point. ), but she obviously had to tell him. it was only a matter of time before judith found out, and if he heard it from his mother instead of her... so she sucked in a breath and nudged open the door to his office. ❝ i um...can i TALK TO YOU for a minute ? i have some news.... big news. ❞

       ❝ well i’ll be...i’ve NEVER seen anyone as natural with the horses as me. i don’t suppose you’d wanna work here, would you ? ❞

       it’s been a long time since she’s made dinner for him, but she needs something to keep her hands busy. when he gets home, she’s only going to PAUSE for a moment before pulling him in for a sweet, slow kiss. 

       ❝ judith, i’m going to have to ask you to get the hell off this property before i decide to shoot ANOTHER ryland. ❞

“Hey! Bobby said I could find you here. Can you spare a minute or two for a chat?”

       ❝ OLIVIA ! ❞ ann’s grinning as she steps around the horse she’s grooming, leaning against one of the posts in the stables. ❝ of course i can. what’s up ? everything okay ? ❞

“Ain’t that the truth,” JR chuckled.  “Sue Ellen is the same way.”  He looked at the little girl in his arms.  “You’re gonna like your aunt Sue Ellen.  Everyone likes her.  Or at least they respect her.  That’s better.”  JR turned back to Ann.  “Surprised me actually.  Seein’ as how I was never very invovled with John Ross as a baby.  But megan here is easier than I thought.”

“What if he’s not?  What if he starts being bad again?  He was good in the beginning last time too.  What if Bobby comes back and you decide you like him better?  I think I’d rather be miserable than lose another family.”

“Come here little girl,” JR snickered as he took his niece. “She’s got good taste, I’ll give her that.”  She always seemed to want to cling to JR when he was around.  “Besides, I can’t see this little angel causin’ any fuss at all. Look at that face.”

“Sort of,” she admited.  “I don’t understand this.  And it scares me.”  She didn’t want to be happy if someone was just going to take it away again.

Jake smiled as he turned to her.  “Can’t you tell?  It’s always about you.”

       ann’s brow furrows in confusion when her daughter makes her way into the kitchen. she looks...troubled, somehow. ❝ EMMA ? what’s goin’ on ? you look like something’s bothering you. is this...is it about me and your father again because i...we just want you to be happy, more than ANYTHING. ❞

“He better be.  A pretty lady like you deserves to be kissed often.  And well.  Besides, this is harmless trouble.  something to keep my brother on his toes.  He needs that you know.”

       she’s just going to come up behind jake and press A SOFT KISS to his shoulder. ❝ penny for your thoughts, handsome ? ❞

“Oh come on now.  A lil’ trouble every now and then keeps you on your toes.  Keeps you young.  Or are you complaining beause my brother isn’t kissing you right anymore.”
