SO much loveliness, as always
I could just feel Jack's nervous anticipation at getting back with Ennis again, you wrote that so wel. Aww to his sweaty hands and sick nervous feeling; I can really get how he must be feeling. I swear, when he finally got there my hands were sweaty too!
The whole trip up to Ennis's house was described so beautifully with such eye for detail - that's one of the things I so love about your writing - the description of the moors, the mountains and the sea was absolutely lovely
Love how you had Jack watching the setting sun:
Jack closed his eyes, the disappearing rays of sunlight casting a golden glow across his face. Lovely
And Ennis's first reaction...that was just perfectly Ennis. You NEVER get them wrong. It's always just how it should be. And their kiss! Omg, so much passion and longing *swoons*
This is so absolutely gorgeous to me *sigh* I'm just in Heaven that they are back together again:
Jack shunted himself off the settee and knee-walked over to Ennis, coming to rest behind him and wrapping his arms round his narrow waist. "I was so !@#$ gutted Ennis," he murmured into Ennis's hair, nuzzling at the back of his neck and resting his head on Ennis's shoulder Love LOVED Jack cooking and setting the table like that! And their gifts for each other were just perfect! Ennis's gift to Jack just squeezed my heart, how utterly lovely. I can just see him working away at it, night after night, just for his Jack The ox symbol is perfect, so right And the halter for Sage was the best idea ever! I loved Ennis's reaction, loved how perfectly you wrote that
Their loving was wonderful, loved how Jack took charge like that. You know how I love a Forceful!Jack LOL
But I'm crushed now
Their first evening together and Ennis gets called out!!!!! *SIGH* Oh well....hope he gets back soon and I must say I do love him for doing this volunteer work
Well done for thinking of this
Yet another thing I love about this story; it sure isn't predictable! Loved how Jack put the porch light on to welcome Ennis back; a truly lovely sweet little touch
Jack putting the star back in the window was wonderful too
SO looking forward to tonight! This chapter will be on my mind for a long long time. I loved it. So much. Sometimes it's just scary how much!
