It’s funny a part of me feels like I’ve never left.”“I feel that way too,” JR said emotionally.“Even though there are a couple of things I miss about England too.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What’s that?” JR asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That they drink tea at all hours,” Sue Ellen said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well if you want some tea before we go to bed, I’m all for it,” JR said in a way that made her flinch involuntarily before she reminded herself to be strong.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “JR, I’m not going to bed with you,” Sue Ellen said firmly.But he just laughed at her, “I know. I didn’t mean it in that sense but if you’re reading something else into it…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Are you trying to imply that I’ve got a dirty mind?” She asked teasingly.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No I’m just saying that we understand each other, that’s all,” he smiled. “So how about it, do you want some tea or not?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Tea sounds nice.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Good then I’ll make us some,” JR said and put on the electric kettle. Sue Ellen sat down by the table as she watched him take out two cups. “So do you take sugar in your tea?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sometimes.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Okay so you want some tonight?” JR asked and Sue Ellen couldn’t help her mind from wandering away. Seeing the look on her face he grinned. “Sugar, do you want some sugar tonight?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “If you want some I can have some too!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Okay,” JR nodded before he put in a piece of sugar in each of their cups. He then poured the tea, handed her one of the cups and sat down next to her. “I want you to know how much this means to me.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It’s just tea, so I wouldn’t read too much into it if I were you.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It’s not just tea,” he insisted. “It’s you being back on my side in all this. I was feeling really bad when I first heard that you had released the movie. But I feel much better about it now.” &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You do?” She asked surprised.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah because it’s given us a reason to stick together,” JR explained. “We both know that if it hadn’t been for that movie we wouldn’t have gone out tonight and I am glad that we did.” &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Me too, I actually had a very good time tonight. It was fun that Bobby and Pam could join us.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I didn’t think I would say that but you are absolutely right. It was fun that they could come along,” he nodded. “In fact Pam isn’t half as bad as I always thought she was. She’s actually ok…or at least for being a Barnes.”Sue Ellen laughed at that, “It’s what I’ve always said, so are you willing to admit that I was right about her?”“Oh I wouldn’t take it that far, but it was nice to see Bobby smile again.”“Yeah it’s nice to see Bobby and Pam back together again. I always thought they belonged together.”“It’s funny some people used to say the same thing about us.”“JR…”“Can you just imagine the kind of gossip we’ve inspired today?” JR went on and Sue Ellen couldn’t help but laugh at that.“Oh yeah, I bet the phones are running warm at Marilee Stone’s house tonight.”JR laughed, “You mean that Marilee saw us together?”“I don’t think so but everyone knows she’s the biggest gossip in Dallas. So I am sure someone must have called her and tipped her off.”“You’re probably right. I think I saw her and that new husband of hers in a segment on the news the other day too.”“Marilee’s remarried?” Sue Ellen asked surprised.“Yeah to a chap named Alan. He is like her lap dog. If she asks him to jump he asks her how high.”“Oh so I was wrong, she doesn’t have a new husband, she has a new puppet on a string,” Sue Ellen said jokingly.JR laughed at that, “That’s one way of putting it. But at least it keeps her from mixing business and pleasure these days and that I’m sure many oil men in Texas are grateful for.”Sue Ellen laughed, “She’s that bad huh?”“She’s no prize that’s for sure,” JR said.“But I was, wasn’t I?” Sue Ellen asked sadly.“Yeah,” JR smiled. “You were worth waiting for and I’ll never forget our wedding night.”“Me either,” Sue Ellen blushed, as she tried to push the unwanted memories away from her mind. “Even if I’ve often wondered why you married me?”“Oh that one’s easy,” he smiled and she raised her eyebrows as she was curious of what his answer would be, “Because I was in love with you.”“You make it sound so simple.”“To me it was, I knew from that moment when I first saw you on stage that you were the one for me.”“You mean that you knew that I’d make a good trophy wife?”&nbsp;“Sue Ellen if you were just a trophy wife to me I wouldn’t have married you twice,” he reassured her.She pondered that for a moment before she said, “Fair enough.”“Aren’t you going to ask me why I married you twice?”“Not tonight,” she shook her head. “Some things are better left unsaid.”“I guess you’re right,” he agreed and an uncomfortable silence settled in as they were both lost in their own thoughts and memories of what was. Then he suddenly went on, “So do you think it will work?”“What will work?” She looked questioningly at him.“Do you think people will start to believe that the movie is a work of fiction after tonight?” &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I hope so,” Sue Ellen said. “Because I really regret making that movie, you know it was never my intention to show it to anyone else but you.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sue Ellen there’s no need for you to apologize again. I know it wasn’t your idea to release that film to the public.”“No it was Don’s. I must admit that I’m really angry with him for it. I never thought that he could do such a thing to me. It’s funny how I have complained for years about all the things you did to me. Then when it comes right down to it Don’s not really any better.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He smiled at that, “I’m glad you’re finally realizing that. Still why waste a perfectly good evening by talking about Don Lockwood?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You’re right, it has been a nice evening,” Sue Ellen smiled, as she glanced into his eyes.“The best I’ve had in years,” JR agreed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; She looked at him in surprise, “Really?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Really,” he nodded.Seeing the emotions in his blue eyes Sue Ellen knew that the evening must come to an end now before she did something she’d live to regret.

But when she turned around to say goodnight she found that he’d followed her.

[QUOTE="Karin, post: 80948, member: 57167"] JR and Sue Ellen stood there for a moment looking after them. “Well I don’t think I have seen Christopher this happy in years,” JR smiled. “Yeah he’s finally adapted to having his mother back,” Sue Ellen said. “Seems that way,” JR agreed. “So what about you, have you adapted to being back here at Southfork?” “Yeah, I think so. It’s funny a part of me feels like I’ve never left.” “I feel that way too,” JR said emotionally. “Even though there are a couple of things I miss about England too.” “What’s that?” JR asked. “That they drink tea at all hours,” Sue Ellen said. “Well if you want some tea before we go to bed, I’m all for it,” JR said in a way that made her flinch involuntarily before she reminded herself to be strong. “JR, I’m not going to bed with you,” Sue Ellen said firmly.
