:laugh: :laugh: Contradict away! I was so anxious for Ellery to be thinking of Colson I totally forgot about that! Well, shit. :-\ I'm thinking this is before Fuckin' Bill, and I can't remember if Bruce has brown eyes? Of course, there have to be a couple others in there, we just don't know all the names. Huh. But I can still hang on to the Jes call me darlin,”, right?
This is like Churchill's quote about a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma - and I think we'll be adding a few more layers in there before we're done!

Joe is doing his best, but things are deteriorating pretty quickly, and a lot of stuff that's been held back is starting to spill over.
Esteban thought for a moment. “Ellery used ta be my partner, an he used ta be my friend.”
“An now he ain’t. An Dupree has never been my friend.”
I notice that he definied his relationships with them in terms of what they are not, not what they are. What a sad, complicated mess. And I think Esteban knows very well what the reasons are for not wanting to be Jeremy's friend.
Can't wait for more! Thanks, Louise.
louisev:
well the "Darlin" is a very big clue.
Unless of course... he's had other lovers in the past who called him that! Which... even the most assiduous student of the Greenlea Tales probably could not suss out.
However, we do know that "Fuckin Bill" called Ellery "El", so maybe there was no pet name...
maybe.

Aw, poor Wes is beside himself with worry, and it is doubly hard for someone who is used to having his commands obeyed when his questions aren't answered to his satisfaction.
“An my wife an boy here.
Aw, Colson is his boy, too, isn't he? Sniff.
Well, if Ellery named Reagan then he can't be thinking further back than 1981, (ETA: but he just said "the past five years" so that would indicate he knows what year it is,so hmmm. ) and he apparently got the day and the month right too .... so more hmmm...
“You ever kiss a man on the lips?” Ellery’s hoarse, whispering laugh followed him as he stalked out the door.
:laugh: Gotta love frisky Ellery! Thanks, Louise.
louisev:
Spoilerish!
whew, well I sure hope it was clear by the doctor's satisfaction with the answers that Ellery is adequately oriented in space and time!
And now for chapter 18!
