You certainly managed the sadness and regret - did it very well too. Excellent.

This feels like something Ennis might say to Jack in a letter, trying to explain why things are the way they are.

I totally get the sadness and the regret in Ennis's thoughts, and I can see how he really wants to change things between them for the better, yet, he can't seem to get around his doubts and fears.
I would love for this to turn into an AU piece, the ingredients are there, but, I can also see the canon coming out in it as well.

I'm looking forward to your next update. I would like to know how Ennis handles himself when he has to actually talk to Jack. : )

Piece a shit truck’s whinin’ worse’n a mare throwin’ a strappin’ foal, but I got it floor-boarded all the same and I ain’t lettin’ up till it blows up or I get there.You're in Asheville, hunh? That's where my sister is. And I believe that's a gay-friendly bed and
