BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Bo didn't say anything or protest to the thought of a nap, still worried about whether or not he'd get punished for what he did. He hated being punished and he never really meant to do anything to deserve it...he tried to avoid it at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse carried him inside and to the room the boys shared, not surprised to find Luke already sitting on his bed.

"You can have 'em back once you've done enough extra chores to pay fer that window," he told them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
