Aww they are, aren't they? Even if I do say so myself! Thanks for commenting.

I think Ennis will ultimately be able to help Justin. Maybe sharing his own pain with the boy will help Justin understand that he shouldn't feel guilty about what happened to his sister.

I smiled when Jack indulged in that dig about Cindy and her brother. That was cute. ; )

I love the way it's going with Jack and Ennis. Their feelings for on another are definately deepening, but it's going to be increasingly difficult for them to be careful showing those feelings with a camp full of kids. I hope they can figure out something to be together frequently.

This was a really nice chapter. I liked the feelings that were poured into it. It kind of made me feel good. I'm looking forward to your next chapter. : )

Hi Debra, thanks for your lovely comment. I am glad this chapter made you feel good, I felt good writing it. I want to convey the realistic aspects of their situation but not make it completely impossible for them, so things will be moving *winks*. Keep reading and thanks for commenting.

Hi

Lovely chapter. Their emotions are coming across strongly...

Nice touch with Justin struggling to fit in.The boys, I'm sure , will compliment each other with advice they can give the others...

Looking forward to more..

Hi Julie, thanks for a great comment. I'm glad the emotions they are feeling are being conveyed well, thats what I wanted. Its very hard for them, and they are boys, so its not always easy, but I couldnt have them not saying anything to each other, what kind of story would that be? LOL Justin is a lonely and confused young boy...remind you of anyone? Thanks for reading.

haha... i love it when Jack deliberately riles Ennis up, and poor Ennis, he's so easy to fall for that :)

i think they are settling nicely into the summer camp life - just need to sort out some details like where and how they could get away together for some action *winks*...

I wonder what the effect the two boys will have on jack and ennis though? Justin seems like he could use a friend.

thanks for the update, Christie!

Hi Eve thanks for your comment, yes this summer life is wonderful....its just the problem of a camp full of kids!! I'm working on the where and how of their predicament...and also the when. Not long now, me thinks.

Thanks for your comment and your continued support.

Skip Around The Room!

[smiles_a_lot]

As I told you, we do this at Church with our youth program whenever anyone has a birthday. Thankfully I've been spared the indignity of skipping around the room and having to call for an ambulance after.

Loved this bit:

“Wish I knew you, back home.” Ennis murmured. Jack looked up and explored the deep wells of Ennis’s eyes with clear understanding.

“Me too Ennis, more than anything.”

Excellent job, C. Can't wait to see how Justin & Ennis learn to open up to each other. ♥ Em
