Luke sat there holding his newborn daughter, Kristen, thinking of all the recent events. Just a few months ago he and his girlfriend were so happy and were anxiously awaiting for the birth of their child. Sure his family wasn't too thrilled about the news and that's when he decided to move out and get his own place. Wasn't anything fancy but it was enough for him, Jennie, and their baby to live in. And then he had gotten the call from the hospital that Jennie was in an accident. There was nothing more they could do but the managed to save the baby. And from that moment Luke was going to do his best to be the best father there was.
He was lucky that Bo still talked to him and would visit him quite often. And Bo being himself, he would always try to set Luke up on dates, telling him he needed to find someone to be with because he shouldn't have to be alone. But Luke didn't want that, he didn't think he could ever fall in love again. Not after Jennie.
"Luke would you just meet my friend?" Bo said.
"Bo I told you I'm not interested."
"If it's cause of Kristen, I'll watch her. You know I love to baby-sit."
"Yes I know that but I just don't want to date."
"It's one date Luke, not a lifetime commitment."
"If I agree to go on this date, will you leave me alone?"
"Yes," Bo said.
"Alright I'll meet her."
"Great she's at the Boar's Nest waiting for you," Bo smiled.
Luke shook his head and couldn't help to smile. Leave it to Bo to arrange a blind date and not tell him to the last minute.
Luke drove to the Boars Nest and walked in. He looked around and saw a girl sitting alone. "Must be her," he said to himself walking over.
"Christine?"
"Umm…yea," she said.
Luke smiled and sat down at the table. "I'm Luke, Bo's cousin."
Christine smiled, "Nice to meet you Luke. Bo told me all about you. Didn't think you'd come and if you didn't I wouldn't blame you. After what you've been through."
"Guess Bo really did clue you in to everything," Luke said. The two of them talked for hours and when they realized what time it was they couldn't believe it had flown by so fast. And they were surprised to realize they had so much in common.
"Luke if you want, I would love to baby-sit Kristen. I love kids."
"Really?" Luke said. "Cause I work with Cooter at the garage and I usually have her with me cause I can't find someone to baby-sit. Thanks so much."
