Dont feel too badly, June - because of the similarity in the names I have reversed them too!

Get yerself under control.  I’m gonna need yer help about now, Ennis.”  Ellery limped into the bedroom, unloading the pistol as he went.

Ennis turned away, eyes stinging.  “Okay.”

Powerful chapters Louise. I don't blame Ellery for reacting like this; he's hurting bad (oh man his poor back  ), probably really disappointed in Ennis for breaking his promise, sad for his former partner, sad about Ennis totally losing it like that, even though he can understand it.

Can't wait for the next one. Thank God for Mel, coming over and taking charge like that.

Thanks Louise, as always 

I know, you cant really blame Ellery for reacting like that I spose, but I feel all sad now.

Me too Souxi 

I shall spend the rest of the evening worrying about them now.  You cant blame Ellery for reacting the way he did..you cant really blame poor Ennis for the way he reacted. He was only defending his man. How do they work this out? Oh I do feel sad . I hope they dont have a big fight about it. Dont see what good more yelling is going to do, and somehow a frosty silence is even worse. Worry, worry worry worry.
