Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
louisev:
thanks folks...
after the last two days I have had, it is heartwarming to get these wonderful mails. And Jo: you really light this board up with your wonderful poems, tributes, photos and etc!
Kazza:
Louise, you know that all your work is appreciated around here. Hope life calms down a bit for you soon.
That is a rather splendid picture. I think I'd put up with the occasional bit of vandalism to wake up to that view.
SPOILER
Ennis still has some deep seated anxieties, but they are getting better. Once upon a time he would have bolted if confronted by something like this.
Loved that he had started to come round by the end of the conversation.
Bit slow at work here today (or maybe I'm a bit slow today) so I'm treating myself by starting to re-read LS from scratch. ;D

Karen, you are right about Ennis' deep seated anxieties, but he's so lucky to have someone as wonderful as Ellery to hold his hand through his troubles.
God, I love that man. Well, I love them both.
I plan to re-read through the whole of LS once it's finished. Not that I'm wishing it to end or anything! Nothing could be further from the truth.
opinionista:
SPOILERS
Mean things like the vandalism are bound to happen. Ennis will always encounter someone through the course of his life who would say something mean to him for being queer. It is the way it is, unfortunately. So, IMO he has to learn from Ellery to shrug it off and go on living. However, I have to say that Ennis is coming along very well. If this had happened a few months earlier he'd probably run away from Laramie to hide himself again in Riverton.
louisev:
It would be very hard for Ennis to bolt now... he has built his life more around his relationship, he is invested. That doesn't keep the anxiety and the anger away... but the mere thought of the life he had once: of waiting months and months to see the man he really loved, while struggling to even make a show of affection to the woman he committed himself to - convinces him that even with the homophobes around him, he is still better off.
