What is Ennis providing Ellery? 

Ennis is clearly the love of Ellery's life. Ennis is beginning to give Ellery the greatest of all gifts, himself.

When Ellery says, "I need my man inside me," he isn't just talking about sexual need. The emotional and spiritual need is even greater, and that need, too, is beginning to be met.

What a beautiful love story!
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

One of the things that is so gratifying to me is that there are a lot of people who are in long term love relationships, gay and straight, and so many men who can relate here.  That is what makes it special for me is that I have not struck a chord with the "fangirl yaoi crowd" only but there are actually people relating their own losses, loves, longings and fulfillments to the stories.  And that was what I was hoping would happen.  One can never be certain about authenticity until it connects with people who relate to it.

Everyone...

I have two word docs: the complete "Taking Chances" formatted so that every chapter begins on a new page and now, "Looking for Answers," similarly formatted. When the current story concludes, I will archive that one, too.

If anyone would like a copy of these documents, send me a PM with your email address and I will send them off.

Louise, I've been wondering how you picked Ellery's name?

(I've been loving his name more and more each day.)
