While sitting outside he realizes that he forgot his jacket and just as that thought struck him, there goes a strong gust of wind that sends shivers down his spine and makes his whole body shake - he is freezing.
"Nothing could be colder than not having my arms wrapped around with Ennis Del Mar," Jack thinks to himself. He stays put, though, and waits while two tears fall down his face before he takes another swallow of whiskey.
A few hours later Jack is drunk and still feeling lost. He could stay out here and freeze to death, but he has to go pee, so he gets up. He is stiff from sitting there for so long.
He knows he's drunk when he falls flat on the ground and even though he still has to pee, he is pretty sure he'll just fall down again the second step he takes. So, he just lies in the soft, wet grass staring at the stars while he feels his own piss running down his leg.
"Man, I gotta lay off the booze," Jack laughs to himself.
After all that, the day finally rolls around.
Time to meet back up with Ennis.
Jack swears on his life that he will try anything to get Ennis to leave with him.
Jack desperately wants to start that sweet life with Ennis. He knows that if he could just get Ennis to go with him, sooner or later all or at least some of Ennis's fears would fly away like dust in the wind as long as they were together.
"It's like my life depends on it," thinks Jack "and maybe it does. I don't think I can live without you, Ennis," Jack says softly to a bird perched on a tree.
When Ennis
pulls up, they kiss just like they did before, but this time Jack
takes the lead. When their lips part and they get a few breaths in,
Ennis asks "Well, how you been?" "I've been missing
you," Jack says.
Ennis just gives his all to familiar grunt.
