I thought I was gonna have a heart attack when I saw the update on bbslash! LOL! Just when you're not even thinking about this story anymore OR expecting an update and thinking to hell with this story, there it is! LOL!
SPOILER
A fascinating journey indeed! I had real trouble reading about Ennis having sex with Abbey! The moment she lay her hand on his chest and took his hand, I was screaming TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HIM YOU B***H!!!! God, I was a mess after reading that, it was complete torture.... But then there was the last line that gave me back my sanity!
I agree with you, Marie, about how organic the encounters are between Jack and Ennis compared to how much Ennis has to think when he is with Abbey.
What do you think is gonna happen now?
Now let's hope she doesn't take another 2 MONTHS to update....
SPOILERSYes, let's hope - but I think she's writing at least two other fics, so......
I know exactly what you mean about the Ennis/Abbey scene. I knew Abbey served a purpose in the storyline, and then when her brother mentioned to Jack in the last chapter that Abbey had given Ennis her phone number, I thought, uh oh ... this is definitely leading somewhere, and not somewhere good. And because Abbey blabbed to her brother about that, I don't have any doubt she'll blab about the fact that Ennis did indeed call her ... and then her brother will blab again to Jack and . . . I can't stand thinking about it!
And, yeah, I was thinking the same thing: you two-bit hussy - get your hands off him, he's a married man. Which is really funny because (hiding head in shame), I wasn't feeling bad that he was cheating on Alma. It was Jack I was thinking about. I do understand though why Ennis went to Abbey - he is completely freaked out about what happened with Jack. He is in such a screwed up place right now.
I'm so bad at predicting - I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, the last line helped, but I have the feeling it's going to be a tough road out of denial for Ennis. He and Jack both realize how
right it felt between them - but they went in totally opposite directions with that realization. It will be interesting to see how (I hope!!!) they get back on the same road and heading in the same direction.
