Christine woke up after the doctor had checked her out. Since there wasn't anything wrong she went back to the waiting room and sat with the rest of the Dukes. "Any news yet?" she asked them when she went into the room.
"No not yet. Whatever happened, he hasn't recovered from yet," Daisy told her. Christine nodded and sat at the end of the couch and just started crying.
Luke was standing in the doorway, "Let me talk to her."
Daisy stopped him, "Luke before you do I want to ask you a question. Where are your wife and daughter? Didn't they come with you?"
Luke shook his head, "We're um….we're in the process of getting divorced," he said quietly.
"What? Luke what…what happened? How come you didn't tell us?"
"I didn't want to worry any of you with my problems."
"Luke…but you guys love each other. Why does she want a divorce?"
"She says she knows I don't love her the way I should," Luke said and then he looked over at Christine. Daisy stood next to him, "You love her don't you," she said quietly.
Luke nodded, "But it doesn't matter. She loves Bo and he loves her, I could never do that to them. All I can be is her best friend."
"Luke it'll be ok," Daisy said.
"Yea I'm sure it will. But you're the only one who knows this, please don't tell anyone."
Daisy nodded, "Don't worry Luke I won't."
That night the doctor told the family to go home and that they would call if anything. Uncle Jesse said they would stay at a hotel but Christine told them they could stay at the apartment since the kids were at her friend's.
It was hard to sleep that night, especially with Bo not being there so Christine got up and walked into the kitchen and saw Luke just sitting there drinking what seemed to be more than one cup of coffee.
"Hey Luke, is something wrong?"
Lost in thought, Luke finally heard her and looked at her, "Just something that's on my mind."
Please…review this story. I would appreciate it. Thanks
