That Friday Luke showed up at the Pryor house promptly at three. JJ was out front scraping the ice off the family car when Luke walked up the driveway.

" Hi JJ." Luke said nodding towards Meg's older brother.

" Luke." JJ responded.

" I, should I just go in?" Luke asked nervously.

" Yeah, hey Luke." JJ called over his shoulder to Luke's retreating back.

" Yeah?"

" You like her? Meg I mean, do you like her?" JJ asked quietly.

" Yes, very much." Luke responded. JJ nodded.

" You do know that if you hurt her in anyway I'll make sure you don't walk or even move." JJ stated smirking slightly, but still keeping an air of authority.

" I know, I would never hurt her JJ. I.I respect her very much." Luke stated.

" Good, as you should. Meg's a great girl.you're lucky to even know her." JJ said smiling.

" I know." Luke said walking up the walkway and knocking once before entering the house. From outside JJ heard Meg's laughter rippling through out the air. He smiled. ' Why did she have to grow up?' he thought.
