  1. DEFINITELY much more of a "see you soon" than a "goodbye" for Luke and Noah. When Noah told Luke he would be waiting when Luke was ready Luke gave a little smile and shook his head "Yes". So much precious Nuke time was wasted on Goutman's obsession....such a shame!

  2. Must say - this was definitely more of a "see you soon" for Luke and Noah than a "goodbye". When Noah told Luke he would be waiting when Luke was ready - and Luke gave a little smile and nodded "Yes" - well, that really spoke volumes. I could say so much more - but I'll leave it at that......
