But at least Miss Ellie is still around to keep the boys in check! Sanda, yes Miss Ellie and Clayton will return home soon...Then now here's another update: The same afternoon in La Spezia, Italy, Lucas was sitting in the office room, looking through his father’s phone book. He smiled as he found the number for his grandparents and then went on dialing the number to Southfork. After it had rung twice his dad picked up the phone. “Southfork Residence, this is Ray Krebbs!”“Hi daddy, it’s me,” Lucas smiled.Ray smiled at the familiar child voice and said, “Lucas, how are you doing son?”“Okay, but I miss you,” Lucas replied.“I miss you too,” Ray replied. “So did you get home alright?”“Yes of course. The plane was really big and they showed The Lion King on TV. I stayed awake to watch the whole movie but Charlie slept all thru it.”Ray flinched at the mentioning of Charlie’s name. Then he muttered, “I can imagine. She’s arrived at Capri alright?”“Yes, it’s just mommy and me at home.”Ray swallowed, “So how is mommy?”“Probably jetlagged since she’s been so tired since we got home and doesn’t eat much. I think she’s longing to go to Gstaad. When are you coming home so we can go daddy?”Ray sighed and he felt guilty when he said, “I’m sorry Lucas, but I just arrived here and you remember my daughter Margaret?”“Yes,” Lucas nodded.“Well I’m planning to see her so…”“Oh you’re going up to Washington before coming home!”“Something like that yeah,” Ray dodged the question, as he didn’t really want to admit that he’d invited Margaret and Donna to come visit him at Southfork. Because it might hurt his son’s feelings as Lucas had never been allowed to go there.“So you’re not coming with us to Gstaad this summer?”“I’m afraid not son,” Ray said.Lucas looked disappointed. “That’s too bad. It won’t be the same without you,” Lucas said sadly before adding. “So when are you coming home then?” Ray twitched uncomfortably, “Listen Lucas, I’ve got to go now. Uncle JR and I are going to Fort Worth.”“Oh okay, give grandma and grandpa a hug from me.”“Will do, when they get home,” Ray promised. “Bye son.”“Bye daddy.” Lucas replied. “I love you!”“You too,” Ray said and hurried to hung up the phone before the kid had a chance to ask him why he didn’t want to speak to Jenna or send her his love. It pained him to do so as hearing from Lucas he felt torn. Because no matter of the problems he had with Jenna the last thing he wanted to do was to hurt his son. Because Lucas really was everything he’d ever wanted in a son. He was athletic, a quick study, energetic, smart and he loved doing outdoor activities with his dad like fishing, skiing, playing football or going to watch car races. For many years he’d built his entire marriage with Jenna around their mutual love of that boy. But lately he’d started to feel like not even Lucas was reason enough to keep their marriage together…</blockquote>
