Elly May Duke

Jamie was amazed "Oh you'll have to tell me more about all that sometime."

Cooter reached over and wrapped his other arm arround her "He needs us so much right now Daisy. . .I know it's hard though."

Now it was Jamie's turn to be in the dark "I thought this was her home and who are Enos and Cherry?"

Cooter looked confused "Why not?"

Cooter squeezed her shoulder "Roscoe could have. His sister wouldn't have let Boss fire him, but. . .I don't know really."

Jesse chuckled "Aww c'mon Daisy." "Enos would be as embarassed as I am." Daisy said. "Well one thing's for sure is that he loves you." Jesse replied.

"Oh." Elly nodded remembering the one or two stories she'd heard "Too bad he can't make his owns decision."

Jesse smiled "And I HONESTLY thought Daisy would be the only of the three of you. . .now we have two weddings on our hands."

Elly nodded, Roscoe seemed like such a good person to her "What kind of things did he do?" she asked Cooter completely bewildered.

(probably how she would if Enos asked her . . .poor shy thing) Luke patted Bo on the back playfully and Jesse just looked on "So you say boy."

"Well then what are y'all going to do to help him?" Elly asked.

"You did all this for us?" Analisa's mom asked happily surpprised "Oh and y'all." now she was a bit shy "Bo asked me to marry him."

Both girls nodded, but Daisy looked especially concerned being as she knew Roscoe way better than Elly "I wish there was a way for him to understand that all we want is for him to act decent and that would do it. . .I know that's what you had to of been trying to tell him Cooter." Cooter nodded "That's what I tried Daisy."

Daisy smiled and Analisa reluctantly let her take her hand and lead her to the table where sat everything Bo had told was Analisa's favorite.

Both the girls looked at eachother "What did he tell you?" Daisy asked "Is there something we can do for him?"

Luke, and Bo smiled at eachother and Daisy kneeled down so Analisa could see her "You want some supper sweetie?" she asked.

Luke also smiled "I'm taking you like it sweetie?"

Elly nodded understanding but Daisy was terrified. "What's the matter? It ain't Enos is it?"

"What's the matter?" Elly asked now nervous.

Luke smiled "Your mama taught you well. Go on and open the bag." he gently coaxed.

"Well?" Elly and Daisy asked.

Luke smiled "A present for you sweetie and you can call me Luke. . .you don't have to go calling me Mr."

Outside Ellly was rather nervous as she waited for Cooter.

The little girl only nodded, but said nothing. Then Luke came over and handed Analisa a bag.

Enos sighed "Well I reckon you ought to go back on out and see Elly. . .what were y'all headed on over here for?"
