LOL. My AUNT's name is Dixie...so you would think my family would be very reneckish...but alas I was born a Yankee (course my soul isn't but I don't think there are many Dukes lovers who arent redneck in their souls!)
Daisy swallowed as they arrived. "Uncle Jesse? Uncle Jesse...look...look who's here..." Luke hung back his lip quivering hardly daring to look at him as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Daisy looked at him in shock. You...you're going?!" Luke simply nodded a little. "Oh Luke thank you! Thank you!" she said as she hugged him. Luke looked at Bo pleadingly, still not at all comfortable about this and not understanding why she would thank him when he was the reason everything had gone so very wrong.
Normally Luke would have protested greatly to the special treatment, but right now he didn't. He just went along with what he said, not wanting to hurt Bo any more than he already had*
Luke just latched onto Bo, his tears falling continually. He hated himself with a passion and he couldn't imagine why Bo was stilll here with him. So he clung to him, knowing it would probably be any moment and Bo would leave him too.
"Never...hate you..." said Luke softly. In truth he didn't blame him at all. At least if Luke was out of the way, it would be one less thing Bo would have to deal with.
Luke swallowed hard tears falling down his cheeks. He felt horrible for making Bo take on all the responsibility. It was supposed to be Luke...Luke was the one who was supposed to be in charge...thee big brother...the would be patriarch...not Bo. "If...if you think...it's best," he said softly not really caring what became of him.
Luke leaned into Bo's hold. He didn't understand why he was feeling the way he was, why at times he felt so very much alone, why the longing to be free from the pain he felt was so very strong. It all scared him... and he didn't know what to do about it.
Luke swallowed hard. He didn't want to see his uncle. He didn't want to face up to what, in his mind, he had allowed to happen. But he also didn't want to hurt Bo more than he already had. Silently he nodded his head.
