Oh, my, Rufus's brother was beaten by the side of the road in Texas. My heart went into my throat when I read that. Nice touch.

I wonder why Jack feels it's different between Ennis and Rufus's family? I mean, I totally get that Jack feels guilty and feels like a fifth wheel, but is it because Jack doesn't feel he has to prove anything to Rufus and his family and does Ennis?

Yikes, I hope that he gets help soon. Please fix this!

Excellent story, can't wait for more.
