Ennis went back to ranch work, hired on here and there, not getting much ahead but glad enough to be around stock again, free to drop things, quit if he had to, and go into the mountains at short notice.
What was he doing?
Why was he going?
What would he say when he got there?
What if Jack wasn't even there?
The questions spun around in Ennis's head until he couldn't think straight.
He couldn't get extra time off, but didn't have to work the weekend, and had decided on the spur of the moment to go and meet up with Jack, try to straighten things out, even if they could only spend a day together.
Would Jack be glad to see him?
Would he see that Ennis was trying?
His truck sped down the highway towards Denver.
“Glad you called...good to see ya again.”
“Well...glad you decided to come...so to speak.”
Michael laughed, “Let's go out, I'm hungry.”
“Yeah, but I need a shower first.”
“Me, too...you wash my back, I'll wash yours...might even do your front...”
Once inside Denver city limits Ennis stopped at a pay phone and looked in the giant directory that hung by a steel cord, trying to find the name of the motel that Jack had put on his postcard....he dialed.
“Uh, yeah...is there a Jack Twist stayin there?”
“Hold on....room 4, want me to ring?”
“No, no thanks.”
Ennis pulled into the motel parking lot and found number 4 near the back. He parked and looked around for Jack's truck but didn't see it. He went to the door and knocked quietly...no response...he must be at the show.
He made his way back to his truck and rested his head back and closed his eyes, trying to think of what he was going to say...didn't really matter, after the first couple minutes they wouldn't be doing any talking anyway...he drifted off.
The loud slam of a truck door woke him.
It was dark. He looked out to see if it was Jack...and it was.
Jack and another man got out of Jack's truck...the other man was talking and making gestures with his arms, as if he were telling a story, and Jack was laughing...they walked up to room 4, Jack opened the door with his key and they both walked in.
Then he shut the door behind them.
