I'll never get over Jack, I told him that.
All right, then...maybe not get over him...maybe he wants to try to help you accept it, maybe be able to think back and remember how it was; that's what he said, accept it and move on...not forget.

“I didn’t want to push too hard, didn’t want to push you away, but you’re sure pushing me wherever you want me to be. You tell me to come and go and I do it. Well, sorry, friend. I know you’re not over Jack yet and now that’s not my problem. It’s all yours, just the way you wanted it all along.”

Ennis looked at the name...Brian. What did you expect?
Visiting a friend – Well, that's fuckin' perfect...

Travis opened his eyes in the dark and he knew at once what was at the root of Ennis's real fear.
It wasn't just forgetting Jack...it was opening himself up again, giving himself over to someone who might leave him, being afraid to possibly face another life-shattering loss.

“Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Ennis.” It came out much harsher than he’d meant it to, that one short sentence capturing and conveying the months of anguish he’d endured at Ennis’s hand, a way to turn some of that back on him....

Ennis must have heard something different in his voice, he looked around, and barely heard the words as Travis walked away.
“I don’t love him...I love you.”

Ennis interrupted him, “I don’t know how to do this…”
Travis looked up, a wry smile on his lips, “Yeah, no shit, you really don’t.”

He knew that the joy of remembering could change in an instant, and he’d be lost in an abyss of pain…and there were times when he would ignore the signs of warning, when he welcomed the guilt, if only as a way to cleanse his soul and so again allow himself the pleasure of his memories.

They woke on Saturday morning before dawn and lay in each others arms, saying the words, repeating the promises made in the night, each needing the other to know that the words that had been spoken could stand the light of day, they didn’t have to stay hidden in the shadows.

He tried. They both tried.

“Didn't know you guys was pen-pals. Been writin' pretty regular? Tellin' him all the news from home? Except who you're fuckin', bet you don't tell him that.”

Travis got up, leaving his half-empty glass and the letter, quietly left the cabin, got in his car and drove away.
