I gazed through the musty air of the Boars Nest. Being a Friday night the place was packed! I watched as couples gathered to dance to the soft country twang. Bo and Luke led me to a small table near the back. I took a seat between the boys and Daisy quickly served us a round of beers. I cringed as the taste of the watered down alcohol hit my lips. Bo and Luke noticed my expression and burst out in laughter. I shoved a handful of popcorn in my mouth hoping to drown the taste from my tongue.

"That's not funny!" I defended when I swallowed the last bit of popcorn.

"Don't worry 'bout it sweetheart," Bo said between laughs, "It takes a bit ta get used to it!"

"Apparently so," I said with a chuckle, "Hey Daisy; can I get some water?"

"Sure can sugar," Daisy told me with a grin. She returned quickly to take away the fowl tasting liquor replace it with a fresh glass of water.

"Hey Luke; look who it is," Bo said pointing to a young blonde across the Boars Nest.

"Is that Betty Lou Jamison?" Luke asked, "Better make sure her daddy ain't 'round ta rip off yer head!"

"Cute Luke," Bo shot his cousin a look, "I'm gonna head over there to see if'n she's up fer a date tomorra."

"Good luck cousin," Luke said as Bo stood to leave, "Yer gonna need it!"

"Thanks a lot," Bo said, "See ya'll later!"

"Bye Bo," I told him before he walked off into the crowd.

"You glad to be home?" Luke asked me taking a sip of his beer.

"Yeah, not under these circumstances," I told him, "But I'm nonetheless happy to see everyone again."

"Yeah, it's real nice to see yer pretty face 'round Hazzard again," he told me with a smile.

"So what were you up to while I was away?" I asked him with a grin.

"Well…livin' the country life I guess," Luke said, "I spent a few years overseas in the Marines shortly after you left. Times got hard for a while and it took a lot to keep from rushing home. It really was tough stayin' away from Bo, Daisy, and Uncle Jesse."

I noticed the pain in his voice when he talked about being away. Luke was big on family and I greatly admired him for it. I was close to my family during high school and the summer after but once I left we'd lost touch. We talked on occasion, maybe once a week, but once I'd been with Erik the phone calls became less and less. And now that my parents were dead, I regretted how much we'd grown apart.

"It sounds hard," I told him putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. His muscles felt tense under the thin plaid he was wearing.

"Yeah," he looked down into his glass, "I'm just glad it's all in the past."

"Yeah," I said back, not knowing what to say. We sat a minute, sipping our drinks in silence. Luke was the first to speak.

"So this Erik guy…he was your fiancé?"

"Yeah, we had a great time until my parents died. He got frustrated at how upset I was. I didn't do anything and that upset him. He got so angry with me that he eventually left," I told Luke with a hint of sorrow in my voice.

"Sounds like a real jackass," Luke said, "No offense."

"Oh, none taken! He was a real jackass at the end!"

My heart fluttered as I heard Tanya Tucker's voice echo from the jukebox. Two Sparrows in a Hurricane was the song my parents danced to at their wedding. Every year on their anniversary they'd play it and dance in each others arm.

"I love this song!" I told Luke, "My parents danced to it on their wedding night."

"Do you want to dance?" he asked me, making me smile wider than I had in a while.

"Yes," I told him honestly. I took his hand and he led me to the center of the Boars Nest. I felt so safe wrapped up in his arms. We danced swaying together, letting the magic of the moment fill our hearts.

Well…ya'll reckon there's a little somethin' more 'tween them then they's letting on?
