Holy Moly - Ennis talking to Lauren about goings-on in the bedroom - he really is getting more relaxed and carefree!  You know, most guys don't like to think about their girl friends talking to other girls about bedroom activities (most guys I know, at least)... is it different with guys and boyfriends?  Ellery seems like such an understanding guy, though, I can't imagine him being too bothered by Ennis' little questions here and there (since Ennis is just trying to learn)... but I don't know, I think there's lots of little things about Ellery likes and dislikes that we don't know.

Interesting how they sorta danced around the 'real couple' conversation...

Just a thought about that beautiful "coital embrace" of Ennis and Ellery. I think a sculpture (or drawing) of that would rival Rodin's The Kiss. Any artists out there?

I saw The Kiss in the Rodin Museum in Paris last week. Couldn't stop thinking about Ennis & Ellery...
Louise, you couldn't send them on a romantic weekend to Paris, could you? Okay, okay, that might be stretching it a bit...
maybe in book 12 when they're celebrating the 10th anniversary of the commitment they make to each other

Chapter 74: A Very Slow Night

Jeez, Ellery and his bar...nothing but trouble. Even though he is making money (which I gather he doesn't need) and providing a public service to the gay men of Laramie, it is beginning to seem like running this place is more trouble than it's worth. Nothing but crummy bouncers (Ennis excepted of course, and Dupree), now Rudy the bartender...

This was the third time it has come up, and each time Ennis has talked about it a little bit more. I think Ellery realizes that Ennis needs to ruminate on things. Having a conversation with Ennis is a process which takes time...lots and lots of time....

Hee, hee Leslie... Ennis is a regular ol' cow in that regard... or maybe a giraffe would be a better example. (both being species that ruminate)

I do like how the conversation is developing.
