"Luke is everything alright?"
He nodded, "Yea everything's fine. Just you know everything that's going on, especially with Bo in the hospital. It's nothing really. Why aren't you asleep?"
"Can't seem to stay asleep. Just too lonely without Bo."
She sat down next to Luke and got some coffee for herself. "So Luke wanna tell me what's really bothering you?"
"I already told you…"
Christine cut him off, "I mean besides what's going on with Bo."
Luke didn't answer, "I think I'll try to get back to sleep."
"It's nothing really."
"Luke this isn't about the fight we had earlier is it?"
"No of course not. Forget it; you weren't wrong with what you said to me anyways."
Christine looked at Luke, "What do you mean?"
"My marriage is over. Lisa asked for a divorce. But you were wrong when you said I don't know what love is. Because I do know what it's like to love someone."
"You saying you found someone else, is that why you're getting a divorce?"
"Well not exactly," Luke said and he looked away from her.
"Luke…no you don't mean it."
"I always did, since we dated."
"Luke…no you can't. I mean not anymore at least."
"I was just afraid to ever say it. But I never stopped loving you. I can't stop."
"Luke, I don't even know what to say. The day you broke-up with me was when I decided to stop loving you."
"Just like that?" Luke asked.
"It took awhile but Luke, I don't love you. I can't love you. I'm married to your cousin now."
Luke got up, "I'm sorry I even brought it up."
"Luke I'm sorry, but…"
Luke smiled, "Don't worry, we'll still be friends" he said kissing her cheek.
The next day the Dukes arrived at the hospital only to find that Bo was awake, but not out of the woods yet. Christine was the first to go see him.
"Bo you gotta get better, the kids need you," she said.
He gave a little smile, "I'm trying. I don't wanna stay here much longer."
She knew the others wanted to see him so she told Bo she'd be back to see him later.
Luke was the last one to go see him and also stayed there the longest. He told Bo about his divorce and Bo looked at him.
"Luke I have to ask you something."
"Anything cousin. What is it?"
"Look I know that no one knows what's going to happen to me yet. But I also want to make sure my wife and kids are going to be taken care of just in case…"
"Bo don't talk like this. You'll be home soon," Luke said.
"No Luke listen. I need to ask you for a favor. If anything happens, I want you to be with Christine. I want to make sure that if anything happens, my wife and kids will be safe. And I know you love her and deep down inside I think she loves you still. Will you do this favor for me?"
