Wow!
I am flattered that you've started a story thread for IPS.
I'm working on the next chapter now.
One thing you ned to keep in mind that the Amish people -- and Ennis probably more than average -- are sheltered from the mass media. By choice, they do not watch TV or go to the movies, and many of them don't read English newspapers or magazines -- though some do listen to battery-operated transistor radios for local emergency news. They get most of their information from their communities -- and in restrictive, ulta-Christian cultures such as this, their knowledge of sex and related topics is very restricted. For instance, when a man and woman "court," many times it is done in secret -- and when they announce their engagement, it's supposed to be news to the community. Bedroom details are rarely discussed openly.
That said -- of course you're going to have people like Velda. And there's more to what's going on with Ennis (as we shall see) than just being Amish. He knows himself better than he thinks. And he is also able to deny more than he realizes.
Thanks you guys for reading!!
