Zack didn't know what to think. It was hard enough to keep accepting that maybe his parents weren't ever going to come back for him, but it was harder still to accept that maybe this stranger had all the answers. He still didn't understand why it was Luke wanted to help him so badly, all the guy had done was make promises that he would make everything ok. Coming from out of the county, across the line in Chickasaw, he'd never heard of the Duke family and so didn't know about their reputation. However, there was something about Luke, something about the peacefulness of the farm that made him feel secure....and besides if the people at the orphanage had let him go with Luke so readily he couldn't be a bad person. Even at his young age he understood how these places worked....he had been bounced around enough of them.

Stepping inside slowly and cautiously, Zack glanced around as he followed Luke into the old farmhouse. It was cosy and inviting, the plate of cookies on the table looking even more so. Still he didn't go to take one, still nervous and unsure about who else was in the house and if he'd get in trouble for having some despite what Luke said.
