The Dance 15

Evenin', Auntie Em.

Well, worth the wait, for us and for the guys. Liked how you worked OS into it, the only other bed was at the Siesta, not needing anything you don't have. Also liked the metaphors, the chipped plates, jam jar glasses, the mismatched china, and the slightly chipped and mismatched pair of guys. Glad to see Ennis finds himself realizing that he can go to the dance and live, so long as Jack is there with him.

Thanks again.

Thanks, cwby. This chapter sure was a long time comin'. Glad it was worth the wait. I guess this chapter was very much a reunion...between Jack and Ennis and between me and my readers. Let's hope we're not away from each other for this long again!

that was just absofuckin'lutely wonderful. i've got tears in my eyes and on my cheeks yikes i'm a mess but it was just perfect! i loved poor ennis trying to show him around, like jack could freakin' care less about the dishes, but that really spoke to me because that's the way my sweetie is... whenever i go visit him in other cities, he wants to show me around and make sure i approve of everything first, before anything else can happen. I'm just glad to be there with him, like i know Jack is with Ennis, but those boys want to feel like they are providing a nice place and acceptable accomodations.

i loved their loving... so rough and wild, but still sweet and funny and passionate. Perfect for them. In fact, i loved it so much i'm gonna go read it again. thanks ever so much for continuing on with this story. it's one of my favorites. :)

Hey S. Wow, what a comment, thanks so much. Ennis continually surprises me. I had no idea he was such a romantic, one of those people that likes to set the stage. From the tent with the heaters and the mattress in The Package, to this chapter, Ennis just wants to take care of Jack, you know? Give him soup even when it's too early in the season. Go huntin and to hell with lawmakers sayin he couldn't. I'm so glad you liked this. I have to admit my first question to my betas was: Was the sex hot enough? I...err...was feeling a bit rusty. Your support means so much to me, thanks again. xx

It was delicious and very, very wonderful, worth the wait. And congratulations and thank you to you and your family to do what you did for cancer.

Hey you:
Oh so glad you liked this. I've missed you. Thanks also for your beautiful card. Your comments keep me going, they really do. As for the charity stuff, well, it's all about paying it forward. Much love, Em

This chapter is just incredibly good. Wow.

My mom is a cancer survivor, so I'm happy to wait while you help raise money for research to fight it.

Hugs,
Jackie

Hey Jackie:
Thanks, glad you liked this chapter.

I realized during the fundraising how much of an insult it is for people who play some silly reality TV game to be named "survivors." The true heroes in this world are those, like your mom, who've fought cancer and beat it. They bring dignity and honour to the term "survivor". Hugs back, Em

Hello Ursel:
Thanks for being so patient with me. You're a lot easier on me than I am! I think I'm just starting to forgive myself for keeping you all waiting. Well, at least it was worth the wait. Thanks for your support.
