Their anguish is so palpable it leapt off the page and damn near broke my heart. I have no words of wisdom and no idea how, or even if, any of this ("this" being the entire knot of painful issues) can ever be mended, and that's precisely why it's just like real life.
Damn fine writing, Louise. Thanks.
Marie
P.S. What kind of bribe can I offer to get the next chapter soon-ish? ;D
louisev:
well I don't know, Marie, but it might help you to know that this chapter weighed heavily on me too, which is why I am writing the next one right away!
it should be up soonish.
louisev:

Oh, thank you, Louise! *runs off to read*

Okay, I'm back. Hmmm...well. You know, I adore Colson and I'm usually his biggest supporter and have always tried to be very understanding of his issues, which I understand are complex. But having said that, right now I can't decide if I want to give him an understanding hug of reassurance or slap him silly! And the urge to slap him silly is winning.
“So... don’t push me, okay?”
Don't push him? Gah! I'd like to push him all right. Things are not the same as when he first came to town. A lot has changed - not the least of which is the fact that he made vows to Ellery. Ellery has the right to push him - but right now he's scared to death and I know he won't. It's past time for everyone to be walking on eggshells around Colson's (and Laura's) feelings. I get that Colson is fearful, I do - but someone needs to point out that he's also being selfish. Why do his fears take precedence over Ellery's fears? Marriage is supposed to mean that you take your spouse's feelings into consideration - that you think of your spouse before thinking of yourself. He'd rather break Ellery's heart than deal with this? I remember when he had that terrible episode when they were planning the wedding reception and how Wes was upset that Ellery's feelings were being hurt and wanted to give Colson a talking-to, but Ellery wouldn't let him. I don't know what Wes is going to say when they get there, but at this point I hope he doesn't mollycoddle him, because I think tactic just makes Colson feel his fears are justified and valid.
Right now I feel like Cher in "Moonstruck" - "Snap out of it!" LOL! I have to stop, the more I type, the more pissed off I'm getting, and it takes a lot to get me pissed off. :laugh:
You're taking us for some ride, Louise - thanks!

I have to say, Marie, I agree with every word you say!
