I really enjoy stories about Buck and Lou, and I thought this one with the added drama of memory loss, was excellent.

Lou stood up and stammered, "Kid, I'm sorry to keep disappointing you. You didn't have to come here if you didn't want to."

Kid took a couple steps toward her and said, "Lou, haven't you realized by now that no matter how fast you run away from me, that I'll always be close behind following you. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried." He grinned at her to show he felt no hard feelings.

She looked into those incredible blue eyes of his and all she saw was love but knowing what memories were haunting her mind, she couldn't help but ask, "You mean that? Even after what I did to you back there? I'll never forgive myself for how I treated you." She turned away from him, not believing that he couldn't be hating her for pulling away like she did. She felt so bad for doing that to him; he hadn't done anything wrong, it wasn't about him, but maybe Kid thought it was.

"Hey, Lou," he said, trying to get her attention. "Louise." He knew that would make her look up and he smiled when she did. "Look, I figured something bad had happened to make you keep avoiding the subject with me when Charlotte came to town. I tried to come up with an explanation but nothing came close to what really happened." He paused as he saw her getting uncomfortable with the direction he was taking. "Remember the other day when I told you I wasn't going anywhere, that I'd always be here for you? Well, I meant it and I still do. I know it's far from over, Lou, I just want you to know I'll be there to help you through it ... if you'll let me."

"I wanna let you, Kid," she told him, this time not taking her eyes away from his. "That's why I had to tell you, you mean too much to me for me to keep it from you. I'm just afraid I'll do something like that again. Sometimes I feel like he's taking over control of me and I don't know how to stop it."

"Well, we'll stop it together," he told her then held his hand out to her. She looked at it, fidgeting with her fingers. "It's only me, you know, the one who drives you crazy." He looked at her, grinning.

Lou couldn't help but smile and replied, "I remember." She slowly raised her hand until it met his. He engulfed hers with his.

"Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" He waited until she shook her head then he took her other hand in his and started to make her walk toward him. When she was less than a foot away, he slowly put his hands on her arms. When she didn't flinch, he pulled her toward him and wrapped his arms around her.

Lou found herself leaning into his chest, finding strength from his embrace. She wasn't alone and he was right, together they could beat Wicks, make him a thing of the past.

What a bittersweet tale Debbie has written to show how Kid and Lou deal together with what Wickes did to Lou.
