Well, I'm glad Jack's showing some backbone here, even though it's probably going to backfire on him. I have to admit I cringe ever time I read another chapter, getting us closer to the heartache m the Prologue.

But this is such a good story I will keep reading and hoping the "now" Jack is looking back at all this pain not just with the wisdom of distance and age, but with happiness as well.

Got any crumbs of hope to throw your readers?

I liked how when the tuxes came the two of them went at it like they used to go at it. I sort of understand why Ennis got drunk and wanted to try a girl again to see if he really is gay or not. I did this a lot until 21 and well it never worked out. I wanted to be straight so badly it hurt, but I never was satisfied no matter how pretty or ugly or full bossomed or whatever and it was one of the lowest points in my life. I feel so badly for some of the girls I slept with and found most of them and apologized but I was a slut and slept with so many I did not even know their names. In the end I realized what I wanted and was happier when I accepted me for who I am. But, on Jack's part I can see the hurt he is at a place he knows what he wants and they are at two different levels. Great story as always so happy to see an update. Joe
