I was in the room.&quot;&quot;Then it has to be a false memory.&quot;&quot;Of course it is!&quot; JR snapped. &quot;But she gets hysterical every time…&quot; he stopped and took a deep breath. &quot;What can I do to help her?&quot;&quot;Just be kind. Reassure her that what she&#039;s going through is normal. Encourage her to continue to work on bringing back real memories.&quot;&quot;There&#039;s nothing that can be done to make it clear to her that she didn&#039;t really see my brother?&quot;&quot;I&#039;m afraid not. But false memories have a way of fading&nbsp; on their own with time.&quot;&quot;Alright, doctor,&quot; JR nodded at him, glancing up to see Ray coming down the hallway towards them. &quot;Thank you.&quot;Ray waited until the doctor was out of earshot, then took a deep breath. &quot;The police finally identified the bodies of the two women who were with Sue Ellen at the lab. They&#039;re notifying the families and investigating their backgrounds. So far, no connection to Angelica.&quot;&quot;Any word on the tapes from the wiretap on Lowell?&quot;&quot;Harv has a meeting with a high ranking guy at Justice later today.&quot;&quot;Alright. Thanks, Ray. Why don&#039;t you go home and get some rest. You haven&#039;t slept forever.&quot;&quot;Neither have you, JR,&quot; Ray reminded him. &quot;I&#039;m not leaving you and Sue Ellen. Not with Angelica still out there somewhere.&quot;&quot;Ray…&quot;. JR smiled and shook his head. &quot;Alright. Thank you.&quot;&quot;No problem,JR. You&#039;re my brother. And I know even with all the fighting between us over the years, you&#039;d do the same for me.&quot;&quot;Yes,&quot; JR said softly. &quot;I would.&quot;&quot;You&#039;d better get back to Sue Ellen before she wakes up. I&#039;m going back to the conference room to light a fire under McSween.&quot;&quot;Alright, Ray. Let me know if you find out anything else.&quot;&quot;Count on it.&quot;***&quot;No, Mitch. I need to stay a few more days,&quot; Lucy said into the phone. &quot;Yes, Sue Ellen is safe but Jamie&#039;s funeral is day after tomorrow. Grandma still needs me. So does John Ross, at least until his parents are home from the hospital. No. No one has asked about Afton at all. Of course I haven&#039;t! I told you I&#039;d keep her secret. Alright. Call you later. Love you.&quot;Lucy hung up the phone and turned her attention back to the pool where John Ross and Tony were swimming. Lucy thanked God for Tony. With Charlie and Christopher both away from Southfork, John Ross desperately needed a new friend.Lucy frowned when she thought about Christopher. Pam hadn&#039;t been to see Miss Ellie at all. She hadn&#039;t even brought Christopher over to see John Ross. That was strange. It wasn&#039;t like Pam at all.&quot;They getting along?&quot;Lucy turned her head and saw Donna coming out onto the patio. &quot;Perfectly. They&#039;re having a lot of fun. Have you talked to Ray?&quot;&quot;Yes,&quot; Donna nodded. &quot;He needs to come home and get some rest but he&#039;s refusing to leave JR alone.&quot;&quot;I didn&#039;t realize JR and Ray had gotten so close while I was away.&quot;&quot;They&#039;re not close,&quot; Donna laughed, &quot;but they&#039;re brothers.&nbsp; When push comes to shove, a Ewing is a Ewing.&quot;&quot;JR seems… different somehow.&quot;&quot;He is. A little anyway. He finally got complete control of Ewing Oil. That gave him less reasons to stir up drama in the family. Then… there&#039;s Sue Ellen.&quot;&quot;What about her?&quot;&quot;I don&#039;t really know what happened,&quot; Donna shrugged. &quot;But things have changed between them. He really loves her.&quot;&quot;He&#039;s always loved her,&quot; Lucy reminded her aunt. &quot;Never stopped him from treating her like dirt.&quot;&quot;True. But I don&#039;t know, Lucy, like I said, it&#039;s just different between them. Something changed. Pam would know more about it than me. She and Sue Ellen are very close.&quot;&quot;Yeah. Wonder why she hasn&#039;t been to the hospital? Or even to Southfork?&quot;&quot;Cliff is in very bad shape. He&#039;s heartbroken over Jamie. Pam probably has her hand full dealing with him.&quot;&quot;I guess. Still seems weird.&quot;&quot;I agree it&#039;s a little strange. But maybe she&#039;s just waiting for Sue Ellen to get home before she comes to see her.&quot;&quot;Maybe,&quot; Lucy muttered. She had a feeling about Pam that she couldn&#039;t shake - a feeling that something was very wrong.***&quot;I don&#039;t know, Jack,&quot; April said, setting her wine glass down. &quot;Maybe you shouldn&#039;t get involved.&quot;&quot;I don&#039;t see how I can say no,&quot; Jack sighed. &quot;Cliff is asking for my help. And Jamie loved that man with all her heart.&quot;&quot;But your heart&#039;s not in it, is it?&quot;&quot;No,&quot; Jack admitted. &quot;JR is a bastard. And Cliff and Pam are right. All of us warned him to stop messing around with Angelica. Pam told me even Sue Ellen begged him to let it go. He should have known better.&quot;&quot;But?&quot;&quot;But he wouldn&#039;t have gotten Sue Ellen hurt on purpose. And as much as him and Jamie disliked one another,he would have never done anything to hurt her either.&quot;&quot;Destroying this Ewing man won&#039;t bring Jamie back,&quot; April said softly.&quot;I know. And a lot of people will get hurt. People I care about. I want to help Cliff, April. But I just don&#039;t know if I can do this. I don&#039;t think the revenge is worth the carnage.&quot;***&quot;I&#039;m not crazy, JR,&quot; Sue Ellen&#039;s weak voice came from the bed.JR closed his newspaper, stood up, and walked to sit down on the edge of her bed. &quot;I know you&#039;re not crazy, honey.&quot;&quot;But you don&#039;t believe me,&quot; she muttered.&quot;Sue Ellen,&quot; JR carefully chose his words, &quot;I DO believe you. I believe you truly believe you saw Bobby. But I saw him die. I saw the heart monitor flatline. I saw the breathing machine stop. Honey, I put him in the ground.&quot;&quot;JR…&quot;&quot;I tell you what, honey,&quot; he said, reaching out to stroke her hair. &quot;I have a whole team of investigators trying to find the people who took you. I&#039;ll ask them to check on this Bobby thing too, okay?&quot;&quot;You will?&quot; She asked hopefully.&quot;I will,&quot; he assured her. &quot;For you, I will. For you I&#039;d do anything.&quot;&quot;Thank you, JR,&quot; she managed a weak smile.&quot;You&#039;re welcome, Miss Texas,&quot; he bent down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.&quot;I dreamt about someone named Mandy,&quot; she abruptly changed the subject&quot;Oh?&quot; His body stiffened and his face darkened. &quot;What about her?&quot;&quot;You and me in front of a fire. You said you left her for me. I told you I didn&#039;t want you to do that. Then I saw her face. Beautiful. Dark hair. Perfect eyes.&quot;JR grimaced. He had the urge to put some distance between them, but forced himself to stay put. &quot;You want me to tell you about her?&quot;&quot;No. You don&#039;t need to. I remember how I felt.&quot;&quot;And how was that?&quot;&quot;I thought you loved her. It hurt me.&quot;&quot;I never loved her, Sue Ellen. Not like I love you.&quot;&quot;I...I know. I remember...when you said you left her for me, I said I didn&#039;t care. But I did, JR. I felt...confused. Conflicted. But…&quot;&quot;But what?&quot; He pushed her gently.&quot;But also thrilled,&quot; she breathed out. &quot;Excited. Hopeful.&quot;&quot;I was a fool Sue Ellen. Over and over I hurt you. Mandy was the last time. I swear it.&quot;&quot;I know,&quot; she looked into his eyes. &quot;Somehow I know that deep in my heart.&quot;&quot;From now on there&#039;s only room in my life for one woman, Sue Ellen. And that&#039;s you.&quot;Sue Ellen nodded and closed her eyes. JR watched as she drifted back to sleep.He bent down and lightly kissed her forehead, stood up, and walked over to stare out the window.Her memories were returning rapidly now. There was so much he was going to have to explain, have to apologize for.He just prayed to God that she would forgive him; because if she couldn&#039;t he knew he would never be able to forgive himself.***</blockquote>
