Elly May Duke

The boys looked at eachother "Daisy, it ain't your fault. . .it's ours. . .we made you think we expected a whole lot more from ya then we did." Luke said.

A couple weeks later Enos was finally home, but not quite up to what he wanted. Daisy was frantic over every little thing he did and Granny was just as bad in Daisy's book for being worried over.

Enos nodded.

Jesse hugged her, the tears couldn't keep any longer and he let them fall. The boys just looked stunned.

Enos nodded "Of course not, but I don't know. . .we. . .I just don't know Cooter."

Enos looked at Cooter, the nervousness obvious in his voice "What other couples?"

Jesse swallowed his own tears that threatened to fall "Baby, like Enos has said to ya. . .the Lord forgives ya and we do too."

(sure sis) Enos sighed "I know and that's what's so hard on me. . .I tell her all the time how much I love her and how little her flaws are to me, but. . .I don't know."

Jesse reached an arm around her "Daisy, I ain't mad at you in any way baby."

Enos sighed, licking his lips "yeah Cooter and. . .as I've told her a thousand times. . .the fact that she worries for the ones she loves is another reason I love her so much." (Why would I be mad? You told me you were going to your moms.)

(I know just had a good lunch. . .oh can you resend your email malfunctioning again) Enos nodded "I know she would and that's why I love her, but it doesn't seem fair to ask her to do everything."

(oh ok. . .well anyhow. . .hope you have a good Thanksgiving) Enos sighed "Cooter, if you really wanna know what's bothering me it's Daisy. . .I don't want her to have to take it for the whole family"

Elly gave his hair a loving rustle "Yeah, me too Enos." (did you get my email last night?)

Cooter nodded sadly "Any day buddy."

"Of course I'm right." Cooter said confidently "I know it will cause me and Elly and Bo and Luke and Jenny and Denise and all us are here for you."

Cooter patted his shoulder "Hey buddy we're here for ya. . .I know y'all are havin an awful time right now, but it'll get better."

Elly sighed wishing she could be of more help.

"What's the matter?" Elly asked wanting to help.

Enos nodded giving them a sympathetic look.

"I know that." Jesse gave her a loving smile.

Elly looked at Enos dissapointed as she loved her niece and wished there was something she could do.

Elly sat down on Lily's bed "What can I do for ya?" she asked.

Uncle Jesse shrugged "Daisy, from what I could tell you loved him. . .that's all that matters to me. As long as you loved him I aint mad at ya."

Cooter sighed and patted Enos on the shoulder "You've had a rough time buddy. I'm here for you."

"I ain't your niece." Lily said crossing her arms. Cooter gave Enos a surpprised look "Wha--?" he wanted to know.
