Spoiler…




Another great chapter Louise!  Ellery’s pain broke my heart.  :'(  He was really messed up by his first love.  The little bit symphony I held for Beagle because of the way their conversation ended is gone.  That was nasty for him to call.  On the other hand, couldn’t be any more proud of how Ennis calmed Ellery down and cared for him.  I was concerned that Ennis was going to explode over Ellery’s reaction too.

Update to "A Second Chance"

Very minimal spoiling -

Warning everyone: humdinger of a chapter, may need back up emotional support. (I did.)

they must have a rule... only one of them can explode at a time!
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

That's a good rule.  Only if people can stick with the rule, because it's hard. :)  Good for Ennis to have his emotion under control.  They can deal with the aftermath tomorrow.

The last chapter...hiss, boo, grr....to a certain f***r l***r (trying not to give too much away here).

I wanted a picture of a flying phone...this was the best I could do. Ellery in a moment of pique? Sorry, doesn't really look really pissed...

Leslie, thank you for not giving away much there.  :P
