Thanks Dan!  Will reply to others later too!!

Five years !!

Cassie is NOT dumb!! She must have figured out that Ennis is gay or bi ??

As to if she is homophobic or not, it remains to be seen... may I say!

The 5 years puzzles a lot!! Does it to you too??

Au revoir,
hugs!

I don't see any reason for Cassie to figure out that Ennis is gay. Not because she is too dumb to figure it out. But, a man being gay just wasn't something that she would probably consider until the evidence was in front of her face. He wasn't seeing any other men except for Jack, and they had their fishing trips "cover story". The society at large assumes that men are straight until proven otherwise. Maybe thru the years, she thought about Ennis, and maybe she wondered later on after she married Carl.  ???

I liked Cassie, just like I liked Alma, and I felt for her dissapointment in Ennis, just like I felt for Alma's broken heart. When I see that scene in the bus stop, I wanted Cassie to grab that plate of pie and rub it in Ennis's face, of course that is consistent with my feelings in the Thanksgiving kitchen scene, I wanted Alma to break that plate over Ennis's head. Those women were way too nice to Ennis.  >:(

However, Ennis was indeed nice to Cassie, right? That should have given a clue to Cassie that he was gay or bi ??

Au revoir,

no, Ennis was not nice to Cassie, he was a jerk. He broke her heart, just as he broke Alma's heart.

May I not figure it that way.

Ennis was not the one who initiated the relationship.

Cassie did, right?

Au revoir,
hugs!   So Cassie must have figured it out that Ennis was gay or bi, at least sub... way! ??

just because Cassie was aggressive that day in the bar, doesn't mean that Ennis was entitled to dump her out like a moldy sack of potatoes. sorry, I won't make excuses for Ennis. I understand his angst because of his feelings for Jack, but he still was responsible for his behavior towards Alma, Cassie, and Jack.

Hey brokeplex, did you change sex to-day? May I ask!! May I joke! Are you the first man pregnant who was on Oprah yesterday and now you are pretending to be brokeplex to-day?

Ennis did not dump Cassie... at least not right away!! He went out with her for many years, right?
Cassie must have kept on persisting going out with him, right?

Au revoir,
hugs!

Merci brokeplex.  Pray that I did not upset you with my joke!

Ennis had no choice but not communicate with Cassie anymore, right? CASSIE KEPT ON PRESSURING ENNIS... FOR YEARS... like 4, 5, 6 ??
That is one way! Not to reply.

Isn't that THE way how to do: when one follows you?

Au revoir,
hugs!

Ennis wasn't a blind innocent! He wanted sex from Cassie, and then he dumped her. I don't know why, but he did. maybe she was talking about marriage and Ennis backed away from that. I'm not sure, but he still dumped her.
