Daddy Duke (continuation of Why is it)


Recommended Posts

Bo however had been expecting it and caught it with ease, throwing it right back at him but more gently than Luke had thrown it at him.

"She didn't teach her to lie an' she didn't say it was okay...Jaime knows it aint ok to lie....Daisy was tryin' to protect you an' keep you from worryin' anymore than ya clearly already are...Daisy knows Jason..she's met him before...she knows Jason can be trusted and would bring her home."

"Maybe not...but at the same time she is her Neice an' you are her brother...she was tryin' to find a way to appease both of ya an' keep the friction down to a minimum...your obviously stressed because of everythin' that's happenin, I am...she's obviously feelin' the strain...the last thing any of us want is fer that to reflect onta Jaime...Jaime was enjoyin' herself tonight, somethin' she ain't done in a while...its hard to be stuck in between the middle of two people ya care about Luke...even harder to try an' find a solution that'll appease both sides...in fact if Jason hadn't insisted on comin' in t'see ya an' apologise, she probably would have gotten away with it too..."

Bo pointed out gently,

"It ain't fair for you to take yer worry out on Daisy...an neither was it fair to treat Jason the way ya did really...he's right, you were just tryin' to get him to squirm...he passed your lil' test of character an' yet ya still looked down at him like he was somethin' stuck to the bottom of yer boot...a lesser man than Jason, an adult, would have run away at the thought of facin' a girls daddy...Jason jumped headlong into it...he's tryin' Luke..."

Bo said as gently as he could.

"An' what would you have done if she'd have told ya huh? By now, you would have been up pacin' the livin room floor on yer bad foot, when Jaime got in with Jason it would have been a boyfriend massacre, Jaime would be in her room cryin' after a big row with you then you an' Daisy would have gotten in an argument about how ya treated Daisy..."

Bo listed, knowing he was getting at Luke.

"Jaime is getting pretty darn close to being an adult Luke and yet you treat her like she's still 14 years old...she's 16! Most 16 year olds by now have a curfew of 12 or 1am on a weekend...10 or 11 on a school night...Jaime's is 11 on a weekend and 9 on a weekday! She's growin' up Luke! You can't keep treatin' her like a kid! So she was late, big deal. Nothin's happened to her!"

Bo shook his head and moved closer to Luke now he was calmed down a bit.

"Jaime never says nothin' because she respects your rules an' accepts how ya treat her...she loves ya an' she don't wanna hurt ya...this is the first time since you adopted her that she's been late home...usually she's here ten minutes before her curfew is up...she don't push for more time, she don't ask for it...she just comes in when you tell her...you gotta let her have some more freedom...she should have earned your trust in that by now!"
