Summary
“Kid, get the hell outta my tree.”
Stupid fucking neighbors. She’s never even seen the person who lives here before.
“It’s not your tree,” she calls back, infusing her tone with as much attitude as she can muster. “No one owns a tree.” Deep breaths, Ellie. Can’t give away how scared you are, especially not to a stranger. Especially especially not to a man.
“Tree’s on my property. I own the property, so I own the tree. Now scram.”

Summary
“You can scream if you want,” Joel murmured. “Hell, that’s probably more convincin’. But I need you to listen first. Can you listen? You ain’t too scared to do that?”
Tess swallowed hard. Her breath rasped in her throat and her skin prickled all over. She was reeling from his speed and strength. He could do whatever he wanted. He was strong enough and fast enough to do whatever he wanted and there wasn’t anything she could do to stop him. The hubris of thinking she could actually have gotten herself out of the trap was staggering. If she was quiet, if she could be still, maybe another chance would open up. But the fight would not leave her body.
She loathed herself for it.

Summary
“Woah.” Ellie’s face is inches away from her window when Tess looks back, her gaze fixed on the deer. “They’re so big.”
“There’s a whole lot of things bigger than them,” Tess snorts.
“The only animals I’ve seen are birds and dogs.”
Right.
Joel rolls down his window and she’s hit with a blast of cold air to the face. She’s thankful, actually, as the roar of the wind fills the car, drowning out any of the kid’s attempts at further conversations. He rolls it back up once the sun has started to set, the insects beginning their evening songs.
Tess, Joel, Ellie, and the rare occurrence of sleep. A Tess Lives story.

Summary
Tommy takes the bin from her when she’s done and cleans it out, placing it back down beside her. “Well, looks like it’s you and me for the rest of the day.”
Ellie curls in tighter on herself.
“Won’t be that bad, sugar, I promise.” His voice drops when he speaks again, lower but softer. It reminds her of Joel’s. “I can run across the street if there’s anything you want from your place?”
Hah. The one thing she wants from her place is two days away. She wipes sweat away from her face. “I’m okay. Really. You don’t need to—you won’t have to take me to the clinic.”
“We’ll see how it goes,” is all he says in response.
Ellie is sick while Joel is away.

Summary
Tess never intended to become a mother.
Some of the women she comes across in the QZ still call themselves that, mother, the first descriptor they’ll use for themselves, even though their children have been dead three or four times longer than they were ever alive.
The word they use for her is dangerous.
But now it comes down this, the woman who never wanted a kid and the man who has never gotten over losing one. A kid who has never known what it is to have a parent.
The woman who can’t even find the courage to ask Joel to love her, a man who can’t even refer to Tess as anything other than a business partner. A kid who doesn’t even understand what love is.
They’re an emotionally stunted trio who only have each other and it feels like a recipe for disaster.
(Tess lives).
