Mornin',
Well, have to say what a good story you've written for us. After reading Chapter 18 earlier, last night I had to go out by the fire-pit and re-read the whole story to date. Their relationship rekindles and bursts into flames, banks and then grows hot again. It sweeps along and builds up to the ending of Chapter 18, which is a real turning point for Ennis and Jack. The question of course is which way they will turn, and when, and who will get consumed in the fire [Elly already has been], and who will emerge from the fire forged into a new, stronger person. Guess that's more than one question! Looking forward to finding out the answers.
Thanks again.
