Chapter 2

Turning at the library and heading down Park Street to the United Methodist Church, Ennis knew he would be just barely on time. He also knew that his putting off leaving until the last minute wasn’t unintentional. As parents of the bride, he and Alma could hardly avoid each other, and the reception at the Elks Club would put him through

I Can't Take This

...It's so good. I'm having heart palpitations here.

The vows
till death, and beyond
the eyes locked on him
the clasping unseen hand
the mouth nuzzling his hair

*breaking heart is mine*

This was SO beautiful. Absolutely wonderful.

Those marriage vows, Jack's hand and mouth...WOW!!

"I, Jack, take you Ennis…" SO heartbreaking...

Thank you, so much. Please update soon.

Really well written and I'm so emotinally drained I cannot write more at this time except to say you moved me. Joe

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks so much, all of you, for the encouragement - it's my first attempt at fiction of any kind and I'm still in uncharted territory!

Those next few chapters aren't quite so angsty, with the next two introducing a new character. That may make this look like an "Ennis moves on" fic; but the main plot is Ennis & Jack's unbreakable bond. An extended scene between Ennis and Jack in the "Wedding Night" part is the central event everything else loops back to, although Jack isn't in every chapter. But I promise, he stays in the story.

very poetic, heartwrenching, sighs, "against all logic and common sense..." thank you....
