Luke smiled. "I'll be sure he gets it."

"Your phone number?" he asked with a small smile.

Luke nodded. "S'my cousin Bo..."

"Thank ya," returned Luke watching her leave.

Luke just watched her in silence.

Luke sobbed against her clinging to her not wanting to let her go*

Luke clung to her, his heart breaking. "It ain't fair! I love you!"

Luke hugged her close sobbing. "Don't die Auntie...please....don't die..."

A sniff escaped him though he was trying hard not to cry.

"Do you...do you think...she changed her mind?"

"We agreed a long time ago...we's friends...we don't wanna ruin that..."

Luke sighed. "Ain't nothin' I can do...she don't feel that way..."

Luke ighed. "Truth is...I like her for more than a friend Auntie...a lot more."

Luke swallowed. "I can't stop thinkin' bout her."

Luke flushed miserbly. "I think I love her Auntie."

"I'm worried bout her.." he said plaintively.

"Auntie..I don't wanna talk..." he pleaded.

"Fine..." he answered softly.

"Auntie...I'm not hungry...can I go to bed?"

"I guess...." he said taking a bite of food.

Luke shook his head. "She don't want me there..."
