It had been awhile before Luke and Christine had seen Bo. Sure he talked to Luke still, but Christine….well he kept his distance from her. So when he stopped by one day when Luke was at work, it certainly surprised Christine.
"Bo I didn't think I'd see you come around here again."
"Yea well I'm sorry for the way I walked out on you in that attitude that time."
"It's alright Bo," she smiled. "So what brings you here?"
"Wanted to see my niece and nephew since it's been awhile."
"Well Kristen is right here in the living room and Joshua is upstairs asleep in his crib."
Bo spent some time with Kristen and Josh and then went back to talk to Christine. "I did mean it when I told you I love you."
"Bo please don't make this harder for me."
"Make what harder for you?" Bo asked.
"Huh? Oh nothing Bo."
"No it's not nothing. What don't you want me to make harder for you. I mean I know you love Luke, but that won't be able to stop my feelings. But is that what's hard for you?"
She shook her head, "Forget I said anything Bo. Alright?"
"Are you happy?" Bo asked.
"Excuse me?"
"I asked are you happy. Are you happy with your life here with Luke?"
"Yes of course I'm happy Bo."
"That's all I wanted to hear from you," Bo said.
"Bo, I really do think you're a sweet guy. One of the nicest ones I've ever met. And honestly Bo, if I wasn't with Luke, then I would have to say that…yes I would give us a chance."
"Christine are you saying….you have feelings for me?"
Christine looked down and nodded. "Look I love Luke and all but….there's just some things that make me wonder why the two of us ever got together. I'm not his type at all and I think it shows."
"It's showing now huh?" Bo said.
"Yea and we both notice it and have talked about it. But there's nothing we can do."
"Yes there is," Bo said.
"No there isn't Bo. I mean if we were to separate….think of what would happen. There's children involved."
"But if you're not happy….."
"Bo, I'm staying with him cause of Kristen and Josh. I'm the only mother Kristen knows…and if I left then think of what would happen to her." She went over to Bo and kissed him. "Just know that I do love you too."
