Update to "The Red Stallion"

SPOILER


Oh dear, so who's got it in for the boys now? It might just be teenage hoodlums, or it may be something more sinister.

I really liked that Ellery, knowing Ennis, tries to look beneath the surface of his reaction, thinking that his kidnapping may have left deeper scars than it would appear. I also liked that Ennis had started dealing with the siutation before Ellery got home (even if he was potentially tampering with evidence), without disturbing him at work (like Bill would have).

And the ending was touching - that Ellery knows that he may have to stay up half the night dealing with the graffiti, but he'll do it for Ennis' peace of mind.

They'll need some cuddling and cozy chats after their toil I'm thinking

SPOILERS

I liked the way Ellery handled the situation - he was having to be reassuring to Ennis and professional at the same time as this was a crime and he didnt want Ennis to make things worse, although I understood why Ennis would want those awful words scrubbed off the house.  Ellery is really perceptive about Ennis, knows that his angry exterior is hiding a lot, and knows that he will have to have a lot of reassuring words for him.

Hey Christie, we've got a kind of Ennis/Jack ying/yang thing going on with our avatars.

Hee Hee, I think you are right Karen!  I love that pic of Jack though - thats the one with the sheep isnt it?  Did you try and get the sheep on the pic as well, or did you just want Jack's face? 

I love all pics of Ennis outside Aguirre's trailer, but I do try and change my avatar now and again, but I find it so difficult to choose, there are so many I love!

I'm liking the ying/yang thing - isnt that what Jake said about Ennis and Jack finding each other on the mountain?

Its quiet around here today isnt it?  Where is everyone?

I have been nose to the grindstone all day at my job, it is only just after 4.

It's been really quiet for the past few days now 

Sorry your bosses have been making you work so hard, Louise    How dare they?!?    I'm dying for another chapter! 

[louisev]

okay so i have caught up on my sleep (I was up late last night) and now I am eating something and have a phone interview in about 15 minutes.  When that is done I will be typity type type.

[Kazza]

Hi Louise - hope the interview went well.

You've got a lot on at the moment. Much as we all love your updates we'd survive without them for a day or so so that you can catch up with yourself.

Then you'll have the energy to write one of those nice smoochy, intimate chapters, that you excel at so much 

Tee hee

I can't break my streak!  I have to write something before I go to bed.
