I was wondering the same thing. Google says: “On tenterhooks” means “waiting nervously for something to happen.” The word tenter means “a frame used for drying and stretching cloth” and is related to tent, so being “on tenterhooks” compares the tenseness of the stretched fabric to the tension of nervous waiting
Does anyone know what "tenterhooks" means? Never heard this word in my life. I have nothing else to add to this discussion, just tired of nothing happening in these chapters!!! Why are the smex scenes always multiple chapters??
