“Is the anything interestin’ up there in heaven?” Jack asked, as an unusually stoic Ennis Del Mar stared up at the star bright, inky black sky. “I’m just sendin’ up a prayer of thanks!” Ennis answered. “Fer what?” Jack had to hear this one! “For you forgettin’ to bring that damn harmonica! I’m thankful for the peace and quiet!” Jack laughed in spite of himself. He reached over for Ennis and rubbed his thigh.
Jack thought about Alma and the moment he first laid eyes on her. She was certainly a gorgeous woman, but not quite as lovely as Lureen. “I’m gonna get him!” Jack thought as he eyed Mrs. Del Mar. He was instantly ashamed of himself, but he couldn’t help his feelings. Jack wanted Ennis Del Mar more than anything else in this world.
If only Ennis felt the same way. Jack allowed his lover to stare up at the sky in peace, while his thoughts drifted to Alma and the so-called life Ennis had with her. He cringed as he imaged Ennis making love to his sexy wife. The mental picture of Ennis with someone else, even his legal wife, was more than Jack could stand. “Is she better than me?” Jack blurted out, before he could even control himself. Ennis couldn't have heard correctly. “What did you say, Jack fing Twist.....??”
