Aww... I liked the way you thier handshake as they were coming down the steps,just like in the movie.. and it certainly had an effect on Ennis.

***Instead of answering, Ennis found himself staring at the deepest blue eyes he had ever seen in his life. Even underneath the dark rim of Jack’s cap they were clear and vivid like glistening gems, the warm smile on Jack’s face reflected in the bright blue abyss of Jack’s eyes. With the maximum of effort, he finally answered Jack.****

Aww....And I just loved Jack's moaning about the bed, so....Jack! I liked their joining together in a little secret too...breaking the rules...and Ennis looking out for Jack, by giving him one of his cigarettes, allowing him to keep his own. And of course their little chat. And Ennis who doesn't like people being friendly towards him... seems very relaxed around Jack. This scene sounds lovely..

***They both walked in silence for a while, slowing down as they heard the lapping of the water against the grassy shore. Ennis stopped and looked up. He saw a million and one stars, and felt like he could reach out and touch every one. He could sense Jack watching him, and he didn’t mind.***

Yes, you have set the scene lovely....I can't wait for the kids to arrive now..and their daily routine begin. Oh yeah. And Jack in a swimsuit...won't mind that either........hehehehe

Hi Rosie, thanks for your lovely comment. I'm really glad you like how it's going so far. And the bit about Jack complaining about the bed! Yes, very Jack. Complaining 4 hours a day, and more! lol And I find it really intriguing too how Ennis feels instinctively more relaxed around Jack and they've only just met. It makes sense to me though, so hope it will to you. The kids will be arriving soon....along with their hormones.
