yes, there will be a separate "Jeremy and Licky Nicky" story about New Year's Eve, I decided.  A holiday for each family!

and now:

An update!

Thanks Louise for that wonderful Christmas story. The girls provide endless comic opportunities. I wished I could have seen Ennis' face when he saw the truck standing there.

PS I read in the papers that some guy bought his wife a $360,000 Porsche sports car for Christmas and wondered if he were thinking with his dick. Well Ellery might be thinking partly with his dick but mostly I think with his heart! Looking forward to more Jeremy and Nick.

A bit of a spoiler, but I love this...


“Yeah, I might not a been too keen on the idea before we did our little weddin thing.”

Ellery held his hand up in the low light of the lamp, the gold ring glimmering. “I look at this about two hundred times a day, Ennis, an I almost can forget all a the stupid things I used ta call relationships before now.”

“Yeah.”

“I was right about you.”

“What were you right about?”

“I wanted ta fall in love with a man who knows what love is. And even if you didn’t live the life you wanted, and you were hidin in the closet in your relationship with Jack, you always knew ya loved em, an you knew what love is. It was somethin I had ta learn, just like learnin how ta have a family and give em things they want and need.”

Ennis reached up and took Ellery’s outstretched hand and brought it to his own lips, kissing it softly. “Thank you, darlin. Yer teachin me things too... like how not ta spoil my girls rotten.”

I hope you all enjoyed "Red Stallions for Christmas" which was only about twice as long as I thought it would be!

I will be venturing out to my friend Jane's tomorrow for Christmas dinner and a little necessary shopping I was hoping to have done today, which is why I finished up the story in a hot hurry today.

There will not be any fic updates today.  When I get home tomorrow night I will be deciding which Laramie Tale to write next - until then, join Leslie and the Rereaders for chapters 6-10 of "Looking for Answers"!

And welcome to Milo! who jsut finished the Laramie Saga and is working his way through "Dupree's Choice".

Absolutely enjoyed every word, Louise! Twice as long? The longer the better!  What a perfectly beautiful ending! 

And I loved that little moment at the apartment when their rings made a clinking sound as they laced their fingers - Sigh.   I love any moment that makes mention of their rings.

Have a wonderful Christmas dinner with your friend - I know we'll love whichever story you write next!

Thanks - Marie
