Afternoon.
Well, another great chapter, especially the last line. Great imagery. They seem to have found the love they thought lost, and are bound together. And their love does burn bright and did get too hot for Ennis once before, but not now. They and their love have come around, full circle, back to each other.
But, like in the last chapter, advice is given but not taken. Jack needs to take his own advice. He begged Ennis not to keep anything important from him. But, at the Wake he admitted to Freddy that he had to be honest with Ennis and tell Ennis about his past during the years they were apart. Yet, so far, with his "Dad"'s death, he hasn't. Time for Jack to take his own advice, and have another long talk with Ennis. And for Ennis, to have a long talk with Jack. I know they are at the point that it is important, and won't drive them apart.
Now Matt....Get on the phone to NYPD!! Maybe invite your friend to visit rural Wyoming.
Also, what "practice" did Danny give up in California to move to Riverton? Don't recall that from prior reading. Will have to review those chapters. Unless you happen to have that information on the tip of your pen...
Still don't like the idea of them moving back to Childress. Even with an extended support system, there's too much baggage and potential danger for Jack in Texas. They didn't get all of the courtroom shooters.
Wow! Keep it coming... Will not like seeing this end.
