Jack woke up cold and lonely, the full moon casting shadows on the ground outside the tent. A damp fog crept up the foothills from the peaceful sleeping world below. He silently saddled his horse without much thought and set off up the mountain. The trail was clearly visible in the bright moonlight; only an occasional spider’s web impeded his rocky trek to the highlands above. An hour later, maybe two, he arrived at his destination. He quietly opened one tent flap wide, entered and settled himself inside, curled up next to his sleeping lover, absorbing his warmth and companionship.

For so long she'd done what she'd been taught to do, had kept the peace and yielded to his wishes, but she found that when she lost her child she had also lost that long-held habit. And when she saw the look on his friend's face she knew it was time to do what she'd been planning since he'd first called.
Let him think he'd scored a victory by refusing the request. She knew that the contents of the paper bag that Ennis clutched so tightly were more inherently a part of Jack than those cold ashes would ever be.
