Update!
http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/1798379.html#cutid1
SPOILERS
Boy, Bobby is having to be really grown up, isn't he? I love that after he hears his dad and Ennis he decides to stay with Lureen and see what happens. He's not giving up yet, and that is very mature of him.
I loved how Ennis and Jack are falling over themselves when the phone is ringing. LOL. I'm glad Junior's anxiety was addressed too. This family unit is coming together nicely.
And, OMG, how will Ennis and Jack react when they find out about the broken arm?? :o But, then again, it was nice that Bobby got his rodeo thing done while Lureen was watching. It was maybe a wild thing to do, but it was good to see some fiesty Lureen there. Jack and Ennis will get over it, eventually! LOL

Yep, Bobby's behavior has been admirable, and they are making some headway with Junior, too. I'm glad Kurt spilled the beans - she wants so badly to be a part of things,but she doesn't know how to close the gap.
From what midget-size said in some replies, it sounds like J&E are going to freak out about Bobby's accident, and that's understandable. She also said that she's going to make it a little more clear that Lureen thought Bobby had more experience at bull-riding, so it won't make it look quite so insane that she was actually daring her son to ride! :laugh: I think she was desperately trying to find some way to make a connection with Bobby, so that, coupled with the fact that she had the wrong impression about his experience, clouded her judgment. I can't wait for next chapter - fireworks for sure, but if this helps Bobby feel that Lureen does care about him (which I think is what he really wants) than it'll be a good lesson all around.

New update! Yay, what a great monday morning gift.

Gosh, there are so many good things in this chapter. I really like the way Kurt and Louisa's situation is described, very real and heartfelt. I love that Jack and Ennis are thinking of them, being somewhat of a surrogate family for them. Those kids sure need a break. And Junior and Kurt dating, hunh, i think that's a great match!
And I love how Lureen and Bobby are getting closer, the argument they had about Bobby not telling his mum about the bull riding. She's worried Jack won't let her see Bobby again. It looks like Bobby's charms have really worked on her. I love it that they have been 'hanging out together'. They have come such a long way...
And yeah, the brother and sister thing. Oh, it's clear Jack doesn't have any brothers or sisters. Because otherwise he'd know that there's trouble ahead!
Loved it when Bobby talks about his two dads...
This is such a good story. Can't wait for the next update.

I just started reading this story last week and I'm really liking it. It is so nice to sit down and read fics as though they were novels-no stopping to wait for the next installment. It is a gloomy Monday, I'm off work. I want to catch-up to the current chapter but then again I want to just take my time with it.

Yeah, it's a rare treat to read a fic straight through, and this is a really good one!
