It's comforting to me knowing Ennis will be around the ranch now.
Me too... in the beginning I hadn't planned on bringing Ennis in at all until much later in the story, but then I just couldn't do it, I had to have them together
I'm glad you don't mind the age difference, I really hadn't even thought that much about it until I started getting comments on it. 5 years doesn't seem that far apart to me, either. Though, I guess it'd be different if Jack was 21 and Ennis 26...
Thanks for the lovely comments, June!
