[QUOTE="Ukdallasfan, post: 245804, member: 5150"] She stood at the graveside and shivered. The rest of the mourners were long gone, having paid their respects and wished her their condolences. Wrapping her overcoat around her, she sighed, giving way quickly to heaving sobs that she had done her best to contain earlier. She couldn't believe it, even though she knew that it had been coming. Her father had been indestructible in her eyes, invincible even, but, over the past year, she had been forced to face the reality of his age and his infirmity despite his strength of will. Now, she was completely alone. Her husband had moved on with characteristic ease and the man that she expected to replace him, the man she once thought was the love of her life, had become her sworn enemy in the wake of the struggle for West Star. At least she still had the company, she consoled herself, but she had needed the help of a woman who had proved herself to be far more resourceful than she had ever anticipated to wrest it from the grip of JR Ewing. She shivered again at the thought of him. At one time she had envisaged building a mighty empire with him, pooling their resources and, eventually, conquering the Texas oil industry together. Wiping her eyes she felt annoyed by her extreme naivete. Had they managed to remain together, it would only have been a matter of time before he gravitated back to the one he truly loved and left her, taking West Star with him. History dictated that would be the case. Suddenly, she became instinctively aware of a presence behind her. She turned, but not before she had quickly put on her sunglasses, embarrassed by her state of upset. "I'm sorry for your loss, Kimberley." She smiled, relieved. "Thank you for coming, Sue Ellen. Right now I really need a friend." End Hope that's ok to get the ball rolling? This is a great idea :) [/QUOTE]
