Magic
The rechargeable lantern, illuminating the camp in the dark of the murkiest night;
The easy comfort of Jack’s windbreaker rain-gear;
His digital watch that could display lunar phases or sound an alarm:
Magic.
Practical magic.
The joyous glow that suffused Jack’s entire being at the gentlest touch of Ennis’s hand;
The perfect somersault Ennis felt his heart perform whenever Jack beamed him a happy smile;
The way that their spooning snug, spent and without a stitch under shared blankets would spirit away the whole outside world and all of its worries…
Magic.
Passionate magic.
Brokeback magic.
The very best kind.
