I sincerely hope we have heard the last of him! After all, he lives in Jackson, many hours and hundreds of miles away. His behavior is bordering on stalking. His father is a respected attorney who has a career and reputation to preserve. He is now his father's problem, not Ellery's. Ennis and Wes are fully capable of getting a restraining order against him if necessary. So I'm hoping his father will deal with him as he has over and over. If he doesn't, then the father, too, is being irresponsible.

If you aren't current in reading (through chapter 80) please skip this post.
With beautiful words of mutual commitment, we have a milestone in chapter 79.
With the help of Louise and Leslie, I've compiled a list of some of the conversations that have led up to this blessed event:
from A Second Chance chapter 22
“I think of us as partners, Ennis. An partners is… partners. I ain’t got nobody but you, an I want ta share my life with you, an that means sharin what I got.”
from A Second Chance chapter 68
“You are one fiercely possessive man, Ennis. I think I like it.”
“Ya do?”
Ellery put the palm of his hand on Ennis’ sweaty chest. “I ain’t never felt like this about anyone, sweetheart. I want... I want us ta be together like this, like partners. Like... a real married couple.”
“Yeah, ya mentioned....” Ennis replied, the color on his face deepening.
“What a you think about that?”
“I think.... I think I want it too.”
“I love you, Ennis, I love ya like life itself.” Ellery’s grey eyes swam with tears. Ennis leaned in and pressed his lips against his.
“I love ya too darlin. Like life itself.”
from A Second Chance chapter 78
“He lost out when he left you all that long ago. Yer mine now.”
Ellery smiled. “I like bein yers, ya know that?”
“That makes two of us. C’mere.”
from A Second Chance chapter 79:
“We need a drink.”
“An a smoke. You stay there.”
Ennis padded out to the front room, returning with the cigars and the bottle of Glenfiddich and a single glass.
“One glass?”
“We’re celebratin,” Ennis said.
“What are we celebratin?”
“You an me, boy. Ennis an Ellery.” He lighted the cigar, puffed on it, and leaned over, offering it to Ellery, who took it between his lips. Then he poured a shot of scotch and lifted it. “To us. You belongin ta me, an me belongin ta you.” He took a sip, and handed it to Ellery, who took a sip from it as he handed the cigar back.
“To me belongin ta you, an you belongin ta me,” he repeated, gulping down the fiery liquid, handing the cigar back to Ennis, who took a puff on it.
