Well, here goes. Ellery is having the same trouble that Ennis has had. Youthful first love is hard to come to terms with. I had the sme trouble Ennis had accepting someone in place of Jack. It took the pictures of Ellery to help me accept him. He is some humdinger!
Welcome, Scudder...
Everyone, let me introduce Scudder, another addicted reader that I have been corresponding with privately. I gave him a little push to join our group.
Humdinger, yes. If only we could all be so good looking, with hair and muscles, and not fat...oh well, real life interferes sometimes.
Ellery/Ennis...I do think, the way it is emerging, that Ellery's first "love" was anything but. Obviously Ellery had feelings for the guy but they were not reciprocated in any sort of an emotional way, just sexual. Ennis and Jack, on the other hand, I do think were in love, even though Ennis couldn't find the words to say so. And for Ellery, being really in love, for the first time, is bringing up all the memories of the non-love he had all those years ago.
