update!

I hope when you see this next chapter you will understand why I needed to take time to produce this.  It wasn't like I was off gallivanting for no reason at all.

SPOILER






I'm running out of superlatives, Louise.  That was . . . . well, I'm kind of speechless at the moment.  My eyes are watering up - not from sadness or sympathy - but from the beauty and depth of your writing. 

I had faith in Ennis's wisdom and insight - and I am so very relieved that he has admitted to himself that he was doing to Ellery with his destructive guilt what he did to Jack with his fear.  He has taken a huge step in knowing that he may not be able to control his feelings - but that he can control how he reacts to those feelings. 

That was perfection, Louise. 

Thank you - Marie

P.S.  And way to go with coinciding with my lunch again!   :)

Ha Ha!  Love it - we could keep going with this, couldn't we, Janice!!! 

Oh, yeah  - been meaning to say - love your banner!  But, because I am obsessed with bits of minutia - just what is the symbol on Jeeves's shirt? 

Thanks - Marie
