I'll do my best, amid the moans and groans!  Right now it is midnight, and my mind is burned out from eating an ounce of wheat.  One lousy ounce!  Or less.

Yeah, I'll be typity type tomorrow, I promise!

Well,  Louisev is asleep, so no more updates tonight.   :-\

Ennis is looking forward to a quiet nights sleep after a long strange day.
Now I wonder what he was dreaming about the night before?



Maybe he is having dreams about Jack?  About not being there to protect him from Worrell?

That was my thought too, Ranchgal.  Ennis knows and trusts Ellery enough now that he would be comfortable sharing the story of Earl and Rich with him, and also sharing his fears caused by that event, and how it has negatively affected his life for years.
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)

Update to "Shelter From the Storm"

Oh!  I forgot how much I love thinking and talking chapters.  Loved the everyday moment of Ennis hopping out of bed to take a pee. 

The way they had the conversation about the Red Stallion - such togetherness.  I am so in love with them both.

And I think that is what he is planning on telling Ellery after a few Glendfiddles, in bed, holding him.
