Summary
****UPDATED VERSION RELEASING 07/08/25****
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.

"Now it was like Ellie didn’t have a place. They were together, and she was just there. Not that Dina didn’t make an effort to make her not feel that way. Ellie just liked it when she had Dina all to herself.
In a friend way.
All to herself in a way that friends do."
Dina is with Jesse and Ellie is with Cat and the years pass by, neither able to come to terms with what they really feel.

Summary
"The air catches dry in her throat all the same as she runs her hand over the soft, worn fabric. She brings it close to her face, slowly closes her eyes, and breathes in the lingering scent.
It smells like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all share in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie.
She can almost feel her again, right there with her. Like Ellie is still standing behind her, arms wrapping around her waist, fingers tugging at her hips, breath warm on her neck. Her mouth brushing the skin just below her ear, whispering low, asking if she wants her to stop.
God. How did she ever tell her to stop?
She should have never told her to stop."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story about how love lingers, and whether it can ever find its way back home through the wreckage it leaves behind.
