Sammy looked at him her brown eyes full of concern. "You look tired out Bo...why dontcha take a nap? Catch up with Daisy after...she's gonna be here more than tonight...."

Luke nodded a little. "She's a good person...I...I don't really know...how she does it...but...I can talk to her...say...say things...I never said to anyone before...not...not even Bo..." He looked down as if a little ashamed at that. "I don't even know why..."

"Well...I sure don't want you makin' dinner..." she teased. "Just kiddin... I'm fine..." She looked at him softly. "What are you gonna do?"

Sammy nodded a little. "You're right about that...it takes two to argue. But it's ok. Things have a way of working out. It's not even been that long since you were home this time... you haven't really gotten a chance to just relax for a long while," she addded softly. "That'd be enough to make anyone on edge."

Luke nodded. "Yeah...she has...I mean...I guess...I knew the problem...I just...couldn't put a name to it...an..." *he bit his tongue trying to express himself in words, a thing he had always struggled with. "Til I named it...I...I couldn't start to fight it... I..it's not just one thing...it's a lot...an'...an' I can't...just get over it...wish I could...it's gonna take time...but...I feel like...I...I at least know the enemy now...you know?" he said. Words never came easy for him; he was a thinker not a speaker. Sara had helped him to see that all those years of pain bottled up was partially due to that- he had tried to keep everything inside...instead of speaking it out and dealing with it. Now he was trying to make a conscious effort to respond....even to the littlest things. It might not look like much to anyone else, but it was a milestone for Luke.

Sammy shook her head cupping Bo's cheek in her hand and looked at him lovingly. "Snot yer fault baby," she said softly. "It's just the way things are. You and I have been here with Luke...we know when to talk...when not to...Cassie...she...," She thought a moment. "In a lot of ways she's like a little kid...she hasn't learned the art of holding her tongue...and Enos well...you know how he is...he's just a big softie...and doesn't like anyone to hurt...it wasn't your fault..."

Luke sighed nodding a little. Daisy's soft words offered comfort and confirmed what he knew in his heart. Nonetheless, he felt that he should have been stronger, should have dealt with things better. He was thinking more clearly now, but the pain was still present. The feelings of loss still heavy on his heart. He had realized through conversation with Sara that, in reality, he wasn't just mourning the loss of Jesse. He was mourning for his parents, his friends he had lost in the war, the carefree childhood he should have experienced, mourning the innocence he had lost in the bloody war,and most of all, he mourned for the loss of himself. He really didn't know who he was...what his purpose was anymore. Without his uncle guiding him, he felt like a ship out in a boat without oars tossing about on a raging sea...he desperately needed to find an anchor.

Sammy just leaned into him. "You know...somehow this reunion isn't as happy as I thought it would be...between Cassie showin' up...and...and Sara bein' gone..."

"I never meant...to hurt anyone," said Luke softly. He knew it wasn't his fault. he knew both his cousins would tell him that should he suggest it. But at the same time, as he stared at Bo, he couldn't help but feel a bit responsible.

Well, I love them all but as far as that goes what about the law enforcement of Hazzard...when I was younger my crush wasn't either Bo or Luke...it was Enos... now I simply cant choose

I agree

you don't need one...Bo just isnt known for a particular phrase...so though us adament fans would get it, the rest of the audience would be going huh?!

"Me neither," said Sammy with a smirk. "But you aint ever gonna hafta know."

"I love you...I love you so much Bo," she said softly as he held her.

"I suppose," came his soft answer his eyes not wavering off of Bo.

Sammy turned his head to look at her. "Ain't nothin' gonna happen. What happened with Sara was a tragedy...it's not gonna happen to me," she said softly planting gentle kisses on his forehead and temple.

Luke sighed. "Just worried," he continued. He didn't say what he was worried about. It didn't much matter anyway. Daisy could see for herself.

"Why shouldn't I? You're my husband. Besides, I'm havin' a baby...women do it every day...I'm fine" insisted Sammy.

Luke shrugged a little. "Alright I guess...." He didn't feel like he should even be talking about himself.... not when Bo was in the shape he was.

Sammy nodded stepping behind him and gently massaging his shoulders. "You need to relax Bo...just relax...."

"Thought so," she said softly running her fingers through his curls. "Wanna talk about it?"

Luke swallowed nodding a little just letting her speak.

Sammy crossed over to him wrapping her arms around him. "Things gettin' to ya sweetie?" she asked softly, resting her head into his chest.

I know whatcha mean Bo... Well I can tell you if we waited until I came online I would never get a point...cuz I work during the day, others have school, etc. And Rog doesnt generally come on til night....so I definately think it should just be offered and scored by who gets it and who doesnt. As far as streaks and stuff...well I am competitive by nature, I admit. But I honestlly dont care about streak and stuff...I just wanna have fun.

That'd be nice...but I think his reasonong not to is two-fold. First, no offense, but Bo doesn't really have any "lines" he is known for saying...there isn't really a Bo-ism that you could hear and automatically say that's Bo talking...Rosco is a bit easier. Also, I think John just admires Jimmie a lot. That's probably why he always pays tribute to him, even calling Collier and Co. "Hot Pursuit," a phrase James Best coined. So there is my two cents...for what it's worth.
