Khrystyna's Undoing

~4~

The minute Khrystyna stepped out of the limo, Dion swung the front door open and yelled to her." Hey brat! you wanna swaddle up the horses and take the for a spin before the troops arive?"

He was already wearing his riding pants and a collared shirt that looked like he'd used an entire can for spary paint on it. Her brother had always been a stickler for proper form in every aspect of his life, which carried fourth into his life as a corporate slave. it probably drove his co-worker crazy, but khrystyna wasn't annoyed by his behavior in the least. She was exactly like him in that respect.

" I was thinking of something on the way here," She said, as she barreled into his arms fro a hug. she hadn't seen him since the Fourth of July party, and a smile tweaked from her lips when she remembered how funnt he looked spinning in circles as the roman candles he was holding shot flares into the air. "Give me a minute to change out of my uniform. I only had an hour to make my flight after school." 

No problem. " I'll see you at the stable" He took off around the house as she made her way through the doors of the estate. 

The intoxicating of vanilla and melted parmeson cheese wafted from the kitchen and khrystna imagined a chef pastille and his minions busily whipping up her favorites; Vanilla fudge and artichoke dip. Not in the same dish of course. She had eaten a protein bar and downed a carrot juice at the airport, So she was able to curb her temptation to deture into the kitchen sample. She knew that if she didn't get to the stable soon, Dion would think up some crazy challenge to punish her tardiness. She just needed to locate her mom and dad to let them know she had arrived undamaged.

" There's my baby girl" the self assured voice of her dad echoed inside expensive estate as Khrystyna crossed the living room to rest her head against his chest
