Afternoon.
Sorry to see you decided to shelve the project. Had a good premise, the "other side" of the story. But, RL does often get in the way. Hope someday you decide to dust off the premise, and finish Jack's story and then write their story together at the Ranch.
Enjoyed the original; like your style, so much poetry in your imagery. Will always remember how Lee played the piano in the evening with the windows open, pouring his heart into the music, knowing Ennis was outside on the porch of the foreman's house,and how Ennis sat on his porch, listening to the music and the love it conveyed. And will remember the Epilogue.
Thanks again for a great story. Hope to see your name here again. All the best.
