How old is Edna?  :)  She doesn't seem "grandmama-ish" to me ...

ok here is our description of Wes Brown.  Considering Ennis is 6'1", Ellery is 6'3", Wes is HUGE.


Boy, they are growing them big out there. And what's Amos Marigold? 5'5"?

I'd put her at 60, myself. Old enough to be a grandma.

The guy on the RIGHT is what I think "Bill" looks like.    I picture Bill  (Ellerys ex) to be about 10 yrs older than Ellery.

“Ennis this here’s Wesley Brown, Sheriff a Laramie County an my pain in the ass boss.”  The beefy man, with puffy, apple red cheeks and an easy smile, overtopped both Ennis and Ellery by several inches, and reached out a red-palmed hand to clasp Ennis’s.


Another suggestion for WES:   :)

actually mr. Apple Red cheeks is a front runner for the physical description of Wes I gave.  Though in second draft I think I might have to make Wes barely taller than Ellery, since they are growin em too big there.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

LOL,  Well they dated years before!    Bill might have been 40 or so and Ellery 30?

This guy has a "Businessman/Bar owner  look" that I expected when he first met Ennis.
So I had that vision in my head before I knew he dated Ellery.   But I know a lot of guy who date or dated guys ten years there senior.
