Yeah Louise, it did leave me in a kind of a state. I just felt so desperately unhappy and sad for Jack all over again. I was crying along with Ennis *sigh*
The last chapter was so loving and warm. Wes and Edna are wonderful people with huge giving hearts and I really love them. Ennis and Ellery are so lucky to have them in their lives Wes is just so great with Ennis. And with Ellery.
Whooooweeee for Puerto Rico!!!! Will you be writing about that?
I am glad I bent the extra effort then, June...last night when she read it,Leslie mentioned that it would be a hard wait for the next chapter with Ennis in such a state, and I explained that after writing something so intensely emotional, I usually take a reset and consider the next steps before I write again, to step back and get out of Ennis's head a bit. But then I thought - I really AM going to have a mailbox full of cranky LJ notices asking when I am going to update because of poor Ennis crying out in the barn... and stayed up a bit longer to get to the next step. I am rather glad I did, because I got to sleep late and .. well I had strange dreams, but at least they weren't about Ennis! hahaha.
As far as Puerto Rico goes, I will have to consult my overseas Puerto Rico expert about whether I can get some co-authorship support on that particular plot line! Farthest I ever been to Puerto Rico was New York City.
