I agree with y'all, too.
It's very sad for Wayne.
I would not have thought that he would become suicidal, but to attempt suicide-by-Ennis really is going too far. He may be nearer the end of his life than anyone has realized. The possibility of AIDS - related dementia even comes to mind.

This chapter made me ache for Wayne.
--- End quote ---
I feel the same. I don't get to come here as often as I used to (or as often as I would like), but I had to after reading the last couple of chapters.
At first my head was kind of spinning with the goings on at the bar, but I certainly wasn't expecting Wayne's behavior or Ennis' meltdown (although it was subsiding quickly. Wayne was very cheeky, but unfortunately for him he chose to overstep the line with the wrong person, and he knew exactly what he was doing when he did it.
I do hope that he and Ennis make up, especially was Wayne is so ill. He does need all the friends he can get, though he doesn't seem to be trying to endear himself to any of them. This him and Ellery having a chat would be a good idea.

Exactly right Karen. The thing is, he,s not endearing himself to anyone, which makes it very hard for me, and certainly Ennis to feel sorry for the guy. Hes just such a prat isnt he? I,m so like Ennis ya know. I,d react in exactly the same way he did/does.

Oh my, Louise. What an emotional roller coaster ride. I so agree with all the thoughtful comments.
Ennis's fury being checked with the evidence of Wayne's fraility . . . Wayne putting into words what he has been acting out - that he's already a dead man and has nothing to lose . . . the line about the insufficient suede jacket and the frigid cold . . . you're killing me, Louise. :'( So unspeakably sad.
I do hope Ellery will be understanding - will see the desperation of Wayne's actions. - I don't know what the answer is. Maybe Ellery is the only person that can get through to Wayne. I feel bad that Jeremy had to toss him out - (and I'll bet Jeremy feels bad, too) but I don't see that he had any choice. In light of the atmosphere in the bar - it may have been for Wayne's own good that he left.
Masterful, Louise. Thanks for not pulling any punches.
