18 chapters and we're only at the half-way point?? That makes me really happy  ;D

This was another great chapter Bailey, I particularly love Lureen's realization about what caused her dissatisfaction with her marraige.
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.

The second half should be more fun to write.  The road is still rocky for Ennis and Jack, but at least their paths are converging now.  I'm happy you liked Lureen's inner thoughts.  I always figured she'd be more puzzled than angry if she found out, like, "what? I ain't enough for him?"

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Bob Dylan, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall

Sounds like twins!

I prefer nadir...since it looks like the worst part of the separation is past and it's uphill from here for the guys, rebuilding their trust and friendship to go along with their love.  Notwithstanding the shooting in the courtroom...in the days before security checkpoints and all. 

Sounds like Cal is going to get his, but am waiting to find out who did the shooting, and if he survived, and who the witnesses were, and all that.  Chartoff's character is interesting, and I hope he comes through some more. 

It just gets better and better, more to think about, more threads intertwining, more to savor in each chapter.  The bull is bucking again, and we're holding on tight for another ride...fore more than 8 seconds, though!

Everybody thinks it's true
What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly

And our brains

Bailey, this chapter was a bit confusing regarding the time-line and I had the feeling there was a part missing between the end of the last chapter and this one. I commented more detailed on LJ.
But it was a pleasure to read nonetheless. Thank you.

A picture from the past came slowly stealing,
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you.
An', suddenly, I got that old time feeling:
An' I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.

I really, really like this story.  Thank you for such frequent updates.
Ennis is working hard to prove himself to Jack.  Want them back together so bad, but it will have to be at Jack's pace.  Can't blame him there !
