Ennis's shy and suspicious nature inhibits an early connection with Jack, but eventually he succumbs.

By the end of the summer Jack and Ennis's intimacy had grown by leaps and bounds.

The relationship between Jack and Ennis matures gradually over the course of the summer.

L. D. Newsome's decision to put Lureen in charge of his business may have been nepotistic, but it served his purpose.

Ennis was overtaken by the overwhelmingness of Jack's attention.

I was overwhelmed tonight by meeting our lovely mods, Fran and Sandy.
We had a speaker-phone call with Toast as well.
Much talk of ABCs and beyond.
1,000 rounds or bust!

Mrs. Twist politely offered Ennis coffee and a piece of cherry cake.

I, too, was overwhelmed by meeting Fran in person and talking to Toast over the phone. In keeping with the theme of this round, we connected and bonded.
Thanks to Paul for his graciousness and great culinary skills.

Jack and Ennis rewarded each other just by their attention as they became more intimate that summer of 1963.

=aside=
I felt totally rewarded last evening to be able to visit Paul's living room - by speaker-phone.
It was great to put voices to everyone, and to chat with friends.
I don't think we said "Jack" or "Ennis" once.
Thanks to Paul for co-ordinating this, and to Fran and Sandy for being there.
Next time ....

During the day Ennis looked across a grreat gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth; Jack, in his dark camp, saw Ennis as night fire, a red spark on the huge black mass of mountain.

A thousand heartfelt thanks to each of you for making Oct. 12th
one of the best days of my life. "Overwhelmed" is certainly the
operative word here. You should see the smile on my face as I
write this. We'll definitely have to do it again.

Ennis and Jack would treasure their time together more than anything else in their lives.

The bond between Ennis and Jack proved to be unbreakable, despite time, distance and society's pressures.

=aside=Paul, Sandy, Fran and Toast
So glad you could get together!
