At least they've told Rob, which was hard but the fact he wanted to know how to get in touch with them is a good sign. Loved Ennis's thoughts at the wedding- and the fact he told Alma he loved Jack - and their giddy-with-love talk in the bunkhouse. It's a hard road they're travelling, but they have each other and that just warms my heart.

A beautiful chapter.

A marvelous chapter! So many things were finally said, some accepted, some still trying to be. I hope Rob's love for his dad will overcome his shock at hearing about Jack and Ennis.
Junior's already knowing and Alma's small peace offering were wonderful. Lureen is, I think, a lost cause. She's not a woman used to losing and to find out she never had has cut too deep.
Most of all, Jack and Ennis are together!
Thanks. Carole

Wow, this has been an intense chapter with all these different emotions swirling around, but all in all I think they can be content how everything went, the conversation with Rob, the confrontation with Lureen, the excuse to Alma, the father-daughter dance at the wedding, the new job with the old boss, the to themselves accomodation and the 2 pieces of the wedding cake to savour.
And their love seems strong, stable and solid enough to conquer every barricade, that´s what I like the most about this story.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this outstanding tale,
have a great and relaxed weekend,
Claudia

He'd never stepped inside a changing room before... That one phrase really stood out for me b/c it says so much about Ennis and his past, his present and his future. I value honesty in stories above all and you certainly get full marks for that. Thank you so much for respecting your characters and not being afraid to show their honest emotions. All the reactions, Rob's most notably, rang so true. I have empathy, and sympathy, for all of them. Years and years of lies and pain never disappear entirely and that's just life; but the last line hit just the right note, I thought. Not a gushing endorsement, but a simple and, IMO, generous acknowledgment. Very skilled writing - thanks!

P.S. It distresses me to think that writers are worrying about answering comments - please don't fret about it :)
