Summary
To be honest, she doesn’t exactly know how to answer the why. What is she to say? I don’t desire you, not truly, but you smell of gunpowder sometimes, when your knuckles are bloodied by beating men to a pulp, when you skin and strip a rabbit like you’ve done it your entire life? And that sends something warm and pulsing between her legs, nearly unpleasant but not quite, leaving her confused and desperate?
She is not in love with him.
(Ellie is turned on by Joel’s violence. She kisses him twice to find out why.)

Summary
Her world is simple. It is made out of a few things. Bruises. Touches. Whispers of love and whispers of condemnation. A slap across the face. Meat. The flesh. The curse of the flesh. The sin of the flesh. Blood that spills from between her thighs and blood that spills from a slit throat.
Until she saves a man and he saves her in return. It is most unfortunate for them, for the universe has no intention whatsoever of making this a happy ending.
(Ellie is brought up as David’s daughter. When she meets Joel, she suggests a deal.)
