BoJamesDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Bo didn't say a word, he wasn't gonna stand there and try and influence Luke's decision to come home. It truly was case of Bo just wanting Luke to be happy in what he was doing...if Luke had said he needed to travel over the other side of the world and stay there to be happy Bo would have let him...he's miss him, pine for him a little...but as long as Luke was happy it didn't matter.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Luke looked at Bo again. "I miss you," he said again, not really knowing what to do, his eyes full of the conflict in his heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJamesDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Bo could sense that Luke was getting more agitated trying to make a decision. Coughing a little, he rubbed his throat."I'm gonna be right back ok...I need to go get a drink,..you want anything?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Luke shook his head. "No...thanks..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Bo nodded and with another friendly pat to Luke's shoulder, quietly left the room to go and get a drink and to give Luke some space and thinking time. At least this time he was thinking about coming back, that if anything reignited Bo's hope that it wouldn't be long before he was back with him.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Luke sat still on his chair staring at the floor as if the tiles would stand up and walk. His mind was racing. He couldn't sort out what to do. So his body started panicking, his hands trembling, his mind screaming at him to do something...anything.

BoJamesDuke Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sara stayed where she was and just watched him a minute, seeing the panic starting to rise. Still though she stayed where she was, sitting opposite him. Quietly though, she said in her ever patient and gentle manner."Luke...look at me...stop panicking..."

BoJamesDuke Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sara looked straight back at him, directly into his eyes. There was nothing but confidence and support there as she spoke to him directly."You've got no reason to be panicking Luke...you dont have to make this decision right here, right now. You need time to think about it...In all honesty, you dont need me anymore...you question yourself and what moves your going to take next yourself...you had that thinking capability before you came in here, and it isn't lost just because you haven't used it in a while...its in you, the guy you were before is still there...let him come forward and take charge of what's best for you now...he's the only guy you need to listen to.."

BoJamesDuke Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 "If you mess up, you mess up...so what? It's human nature, its how things happen sometimes. No one is perfect, no one has ever not made a mistake in their lives...don't worry about getting things wrong, just go through life as you usually would and if you make a mistake, just either forget about it or re try something a different way...you can't stop mistakes Luke, your only human."She said softly, reaching out a reassuring hand and putting it on his knee.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Luke looked at her biting his lip, his blue eyes shining with moisture. "I'm really gonna...miss seein' you all the time...I...I..." Luke Duke was not normally one to fumble with words around girls. Both he and Bo had a gift when it came to communicating with the opposite sex. Still, Sara was unlike any girl Luke had ever met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
