I tried reading Chapter 18 this morning, David, when it first came in, but my work computer wouldn't allow me to access the hyperlink. It's nearly quiting time here now, and I'm looking forward to reading it at home tonight.  :D

You are very talented, Melissa. Chapter 18 is absolutely beautiful. Hard to believe that English is your second language. You are a master wordsmith.  I love you minimalist writing style, allowing one to concentrate fully on the matter in hand, without divergent distractions. Just Jack and Ennis to concentrate on, pure and simple.  I found this chapter to be very intense and emotionally moving. I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or cry. What I do know is that I'm smiling broadly from the feeling of intense love I'm experiencing for Jack and Ennis right now.

P.S., I revised Chapter 17 before progressing to Chapter 18 and saw the two options you'd chosen for what Jack had whispered in Ennis' ear. Let's just say, because I'm aware of Spoilers, that I personally prefer the more romantic of the two options. You know the one I mean!  ;)   :)

Thank you so much, Kerry! It means a lot to me to hear this from you! I am so happy that you are enjoying the story and that you are emotionally moved by it. I was just telling David in an e-mail that you always have to wait and see if a chapter is moving or not, and I was hoping that it would be, without it being too, I don't know, sugary. Does that make sense?

Thanks again for your lovely comments, you made my day! I really get a kick out of knowing that my story is read all the way in Australia!  :-*

Mornin',

Well, have to say what a good story you've written for us.  After reading Chapter 18 earlier, last night I had to go out by the fire-pit and re-read the whole story to date. Their relationship rekindles and bursts into flames, banks and then grows hot again.  It sweeps along and builds up to the ending of Chapter 18, which is a real turning point for Ennis and Jack.  The question of course is which way they will turn, and when, and who will get consumed in the fire [Elly already has been], and who will emerge from the fire forged into a new, stronger person. Guess that's more than one question! Looking forward to finding out the answers. 

Thanks again.
