He remembered looking into her fridge and seeing her strange food, listening to her talk about her life. He wondered if Junior secretly felt the same way about their family, if she couldn’t wait to get a ticket the hell out of Arbutus. He had wanted the girls to stay in state for college, but maybe he was wrong. If he made Junior feel guilty and stay, she might hate him or worse; she would end up screwing some married guy who used her to forget about his own fucked up shit that had nothing to do with her.
Oh, and one thing that Ennis is wrong about - I don't think Abbey is smarter than him at all. I don't think Ennis gives himself enough credit.
And, yeah, the house that Jack is secretly building just has to enter into this somehow - just as Abbey served (hopefully that's past tense) her purpose in the story, that house must have a purpose too.
I'd completely forgotten about the rest of the season tickets! You're right - it's only June in the story. Lots and lots of games left in this season! I love when things get so complicated and intriguing (hmm... there's another great story I'm reading that's all angsty and complicated and intriguing, too - but that author has kindly guaranteed a happy ending ;) LOL!)

Which one is that......? ;)
Uhm... yeah, I was kind of thinking about that when I wrote chapter 23 today and thinking about the happy ending to my story, that Kumari never really said CY would end happily.... :-\ Now you got me worried even more...
I love what you said about Ennis not giving himself credit, I believe that too, but it's just the surface, it's something he is hiding his real self behind, and hopefully Jack will be able to permanently drag him out!
And however much I try to like Abbey for being so cooky and wacky (are that the right words) and I normally love those kind of people, just the fact that she had sex with Ennis after his 'Jack revelation' makes her number one on my hitlist. Can't help it, the girl's gotta watch her back from now on! :laugh:
Oh and that paragraph you quoted says it even better than the last sentence, yes, I completely forgot about that! Ha, need to read it a second time I guess!
Re: tickets: aren't they supposed to go to an away-game? Gosh, I really wish we wouldn't have to wait two months for chapter 8... maybe she has a surprise for us?
We can always hope, right?
mariez:
Yep, Mel - "cooky and wacky" are exactly the right words for Abbey. And you're feelings about Abbey are perfectly valid - I mean they're your honest feelings - so they can't be wrong! (Although I have to admit that Ennis was totally hot with her - in fact, I think part of me was jealous of Abbey, which may be another reason I didn't like seeing him with her LOL!)
And, yes, Mel - we can always hope!
Marie
(P.S. You wrote Chapter 23 today? Yay!)

Yep, I did, it's a record, wrote it in one day. Doesn't mean it's finished though... have to do rewrites now... :P
Abbey: I just kept thinking of that granny dress she was wearing though, the way Kumari described it didn't make me think Ennis would go for her like that, but he really enjoyed it I guess, which makes his feelings for Jack apparently even stronger, because if he already immensely enjoyed this, what must the experience with Jack done to him? Ha!
mvansand76:
OK, Marie, I'm back... ;D
Mmmmm.... I was just reading CY and some of the comments and you know what I noticed? There are some commenters who wonder why others were so shocked by the sex between Abbey and Ennis. The sex was hot, what's wrong with straight sex in the fandom? I think they seem to forget that when you root for a couple to make it in a story it might be normal to feel not so happy about one of the two to have sex with somebody else. And let's face it, when the story involves Jack AND Ennis, you want them to be together, right? I think I know why I didn't think the sex was hot at all. (And remember, this is completely subjective!) It wasn't based on feelings that have developed over time and that come to fruition (oh God there I go again... is that even a word...?) which makes sex scenes in stories so interesting. The sex scene was necessary and extremely well-written, but it didn't do anything for me. I know I was waiting for Ennis to run away but I knew he wasn't going to, he needed to experience this. I do love that about this story and about the way she writes, it's not like she writes what people generally want to read to sooth their nerves and she doesn't shy away from writing difficult things.
Then there's Abbey. OK, she is different, but who isn't? I have always felt like that and had friends like that, still do, and I have only just started completely accepting that not all people are gonna understand me, my music choice, my film choice, my choices in life. So I can relate to her wackiness, but she just annoyed the hell out of me. Is it just because she screwed Ennis? Is it because she plays records instead of plugs in her iPod? Is it because she opened the door in a pale pink housedress? Or is it because I am not even sure what a pale pink housedress looks like because I am not even sure we have housedresses in Holland and I am picturing her completely different than Kumari intended? I think it's none of these reasons. I'm annoyed at her for giving Ennis the opportunity to cheat on Alma and Jack at the same time. I am annoyed at Ennis for taking it. I might find the whole 'scene' so 'shocking' because I am looking at it through Jack's eyes because I relate so much to him and I know how much he will be hurt when he finds out about this.
I am sorry, I am rambling....
:P

I am sorry, I was trying to make sense of my own cooky and wacky comments... :-\
LOL!
