The Subject of Love: Part 1:
It was many years later, 14 years later, after Gabby's death to be exact, that things got calm in Hazzard County, and Jesse has since passed on, and Kit Duke, who is practically a spitting image of her dad, she is Blonde Haired, Blue-eyed, all American girl, who has a tan like her father, and a laugh like her dearly departed mother, and she loves taking a ride in their famous Orange Racing Stock car, the "General Lee", and her cousin, Pamela promised her, when she gets older, she will share the car, that is currently hers, with her, like their fathers did in the past.
Pamela Duke, a beauty herself, has Dark Hair like her father's and his smile, and her dearly departed mother's sparkling Crystal Blue Eyes, and a light tan, from working outside on the farm, and she was busy teaching her cousin, all about engines, and like her father, Bo, he learned from her father, when he was 14, and when it comes to the Dukes, it's never to early to learn, and Daisy learned from Jesse, and the boys, and when they were done, Kit said, "Thanks, Cousin", and Pamela smiled and said, "Anytime, now get inside and wash up and help Daisy with dinner before you get into trouble", and she nodded, and went in, and Pamela went to put the "General Lee" away.
Bo and Luke were working in the fields, and they were busy getting the crops ready for the Harvest Season, and Luke noticed that Bo hadn't had a relationship, since Gabby, and he thinks he should start again, but the youngest Duke was stubborn, and won't want to disrespect his late wife's memory. So he decided to bring up the subject of "Love and Dating" again to his youngest cousin, and he said as they took a break, "Bo, Why don't you start dating and looking for love? I mean you deserve to be happy and to find someone new to spend your life with", and Bo said, "No, thanks, I am happy the way I am, and so Kit, I don't need distractions, or interruptions in my life", and Luke said persisting, "But Bo, come on!" and Bo suddenly lost his temper, "No, I am not ready, and I won't be for a long time, I loved Gabby, Luke, I don't want to date, Understand Me!" Luke said calmly, "I do, but she would've wanted you happy", and Bo calmed down, and said, "Yeah, I know it", and he said with a smile, "If it makes you happy, I will start dating again", and Luke gave him a hug, and they finished their work.
Later that night, Bo was tucking Kit in, even though she is too old for it now, but she stilled wanted to do it, and it was part of their ritual, and right then and there, he was gonna bring the idea of the dating to his daughter, as he got her settled, he said, "Kiddo, I was wondering how would you feel if your old man started to date again?" and Kit said with a chuckle, "Daddy, you aren't old", and Bo laughed and said, "Good answer, Kid", and then everything turned to serious, and Kit said, "Daddy, All I ever want is for you to be happy, and if you want to date, then do it", and Bo smiled and kissed the top of his daughter's head, and he said, "You make me happy, Sugar", and he gave her a kiss on the cheek, and a hug, and said "Goodnight, Baby", and she said with a smile, "Goodnight, Daddy", and she went to sleep, and Bo went back to hang out with Luke, and Daisy.
The following Saturday Morning, Bo had nothing to do, and Daisy was working at the Boar's Nest, and Luke was taking the girls for the day to do some "Father/Daughter/Uncle/Niece" Stuff, and he took the Pickup to do it in, and Bo decided since it was a nice day, he took the "General Lee" for a drive, and he went to get some breakfast, and was enjoying the solitude of being by himself, and when he came out, he saw a beautiful Brunette working on her Corvette, and he smiled and thought to himself, "Maybe, The Duke charm will work on her", then he was hesitant, and remembered his promise to Luke, he took a deep breath, and let out with relief, and he went over to her.
