 The Carrington Mansion - Danny's room
�Krystina!� LB jumped when his cousin showed up in Danny�s room. Ashley turned around and hurried to cover her half-naked body. �What� what is going on here?!� Krystina asked, stunned, but didn�t wait for an answer. �God! You two�� �We can explain, okay? It�s very complicate, Krys.� LB tried. �Explain? Explain what? I can�t believe it! You and Ashley�� she looked at Ashley who sat on the bed and catch her head with her arms. �Look Krys, there are many things you don�t know�� LB continued, but Krystina stopped him. �What�s to know there? Suddenly it�s all so clear to me. Ashley is the girl you told me about, isn�t she? You two having an affair behind Danny�s back!� She almost yelled. �Krystina, please don�t yell. Somebody could hear you.� Ashley finally said something. �Oh, and you of course don�t want anyone to hear it, right?!� Krystina was still very angry. �Krys, please! It won�t help anyone if you�ll start yelling now, okay?� �It won�t help you and Ashley you mean!� She turned back to Ashley. �How could you do this to Danny? He loves you so much, he trusts you!� �I love Danny too, you don�t know what I�ve been through in the last few months!� Ashley defended herself. 
�It wasn�t easy for us, Krys. But we are in love, and we will be together eventually, you should know how it is to want someone against all the chances.� �Oh, don�t give me that, LB. Kyle and I betrayed nobody!� She raised her voice again and turned back to Ashley. �Not enough that you betraying your boyfriend, you are doing it with his best friend, his own cousin!� �Don�t you think we know that already? It�s eating us inside, Krys, okay? But we can�t ignore our feelings anymore. Ashley loves me and I love her - and Danny will have to deal with this.� This time LB raised his voice. �LB�� Ashley didn�t like his last sentence. She wasn�t ready to tell Danny about her romance with LB. �What? He will ask questions when you�ll tell him that you�re staying in Denver.� He said to her, ignoring Krystina. �You are what?!� Krystina looked at them and became angry even more now. �Yep. Ashley won�t move with him to Princeton. She�s staying here with me.� �No, you are not! You are not going to do this. Danny will be devastated! He thinks you are going to live with him there. I won�t let you hurt him! You got that, Ashley?!� �Krystina, stay out of this! That�s none of your business!� LB shouted back. �Danny is my cousin. I won�t stand aside and let you hurt him!� She said to Ashley when the phone rang. Ashley looked at her and answers the phone. �Hello?� �Hey� where are you? I�m waiting for you in the pool.� She heard Danny�s voice from the other side of the line. �I�ll be down in a minute.� She answered quickly. �Don�t be long� I�m dying to swim with you, you know.� �I�m right there.� Ashley hung up and turned to Krystina and LB. �I have to go. Danny�s waiting for me.� She said and was about to leave when Krystina stopped her. �I won�t let you hurt him, Ashley. He suffered enough!� She said before letting her pass. Ashley looked at her and then at LB before she left the room, leaving Krystina and LB together. �Don�t look at me this way, Krystina!� �What look do you want me to give you, LB? You should have told me the girl is Ashley!� 
�Yes right, look at your behavior now. This is exactly the reason I didn�t tell you about it. I knew you�d freak out like that!� �What have you expect? Have you thought about how deeply he�ll be hurt when he finds out? I guess not. You thought of nothing but yourself.� �But he won�t find out. At least not now�. Right?!� �I don�t know what I�m going to do, LB. I�m sorry, but I won�t promise anything.� She told him and left the room.
