OMG, Louise. I really didn't know Ellery would be so tied up over seeing Beagle!  Wow - can't wait to see them try and start a conversation!

SPOILER.....









I am having an anxiety attack here. WHY did they go to the Rose Hotel? WHY couldn't Ellery have made sure that Eagleton, Sr., came along (he offered)? Maybe even Ennis...if Beagle is supposed to see that Ellery is successful and happy, why not see his lover? This chapter is killing me, Louise!

Aaargh! Our poor, dear Ellery in Beagle induced agony!!

And how wonderful that Ennis can be his solid rock as he faces the long dormant pain and grief!

Thanks, Louise, for another masterpiece of a chapter.
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

Those last two chapters were so full of raw emotion.  I really like seeing Ellery's vulnerable side, and it was just perfect that he went to see Ennis first for some strength.  A strong, adjusted, independent deputy sheriff, but still very much a hurt teenager... I'm so glad he has Ennis, and that Ennis has him.
