I was still stuck on the “marry me” part, but i'm wondering if jack going to visit ennis can maybe bring that to a different light.

You make me very happy when I see a new post. They are giving children steps and they do not talk to each other enough but I have faith. Thank you so much for keeping they alive for us. Martha

Thank you, Martha. I'm glad this story keeps them alive for you. They do need to talk more - hopefully they will figure that out soon :)

Thank you for finally getting them to this point! Loved that Ennis admitted he messed up with Jack and regrets it, but is up to the challenge now. And I LOVED that he told Jack he would ask him to marry him now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that you loved it!!!!! Thank you!!!

“I’d ask you to marry me right now if I thought you’d say yes,” he said, meeting my gaze. “But you wouldn’t, and with good reason. So, like I said, I want to get to know you again. Who you are now - not the version of you that’s still in my head.”

And with that line I died...

OMG this story is so amazing. Thank you for continuing it. It has inspired me to finish my own story.
Hope Ennis makes good on that promise after he earns Jack's trust. Keep up the great work!

Chapter 69

Afternoon.

Well, people they had to see and things they had to say.

I liked how Ennis refused to tell Jack anything of substance about his talk with Josh; that was between them. But, I also liked how Jack and Ennis shared with each other the good & bad times they each had while apart, so each could realize the effect the time apart had on the other.

Surprised when Ennis said he would like to ask Jack to marry him, then adding that he knew that it was too soon and they needed to get fully reacquainted before asking. Too late! Jack knows what Ennis wants; but what does Jack want? It may not be such "a bad place to be" right know, but what about tomorrow? They need to date for a while before making that lifetime commitment.

Only 6 chapters to go!? Looking forward to all of them.

Thanks again.

Bud
