[February 23] [Brokeback Mountain] Once Upon a Time - 23
Title: Once Upon a Time - 23
Day/Theme: February 23th/Three Drops of Blood
Series: Brokeback Mountain
Character/Pairing: Jack Twist/Ennis del Mar
Rating: R
Chapter 23
The week flew by, a jumble of bodies, food, and commotion, all awash in Francie's girlish giggles. At least something was still girlish about her, as much as she seemed to be getting older.
The one thing that ruined the week for Ennis was Scott. He was a nice kid, but Ennis hated him. Ennis couldn't figure out why Scott wasn't right for his little girl. And yet, he could feel it in his bones.
But that changed one night when Ruth and Francie were making dinner, Ennis watching over bottle of beer. Chopping carrots into perfect orange circles, Francie slipped and cut her finger with a knife. Ennis watched as three red drops of blood slid off the silver blade and onto the counter.
But before Ennis could make the leap across the kitchen, Scott was there, pulling out a kerchief, wrapping Francie's hand.
Ennis saw then that maybe his little girl didn't need a daddy any more. Maybe Scott was what she needed, in that way that Ennis needed Jack above all else.
