Summary
Every six months, your paths cross at the trading post.
Every six months, you swear it’s the last time.
And every six months, you fall into each other anyway - fast, rough, desperate, like you're starving for something you'll never admit you want.
In a world where love is dangerous, and time is always borrowed, you learn that sometimes the cruelest thing isn’t losing each other - it’s having to walk away. -

Summary
She was already in Jackson, one of the younger settlers, known for being competent but a little hotheaded, not afraid to speak her mind even if it ruffled feathers. Joel’s not used to a place like this, and definitely not used to people like her. She thinks he’s a brute clinging to old ways. He thinks she’s naive and reckless.
But they keep crossing paths, on patrols, at town meetings, in stolen glances from across the bar. And what starts as biting words and cold shoulders slowly turns into something else: quiet concern, lingering touches, late-night arguments that feel more like confessions than fights.
The more she chips at Joel’s defenses, the more he sees what she’s really hiding. And maybe, just maybe, Joel starts to wonder if this life - this second chance - isn’t just for Ellie. Maybe it’s for him too.----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find the second part here.

Summary
Always the quiet one. The virgin. Too sweet. Too soft. The kind of girl who couldn’t even say “sex” without blushing. Her so-called friends never let her forget it. So when they joked one too many times, when the laughter stuck in her throat and burned hot in her cheeks, she made a decision. She went to him. Joel Miller.

Summary
“I don't know, I... one second I was here and the next I was... somewhere else.”
Louis nodded, drawing little circles with his thumbs on his hands in what he hoped to be a reassuring gesture. He didn’t want to make assumptions, but he was finding it hard not to think of the implications of all this.
*****
The filming of the documentary brings back some bad memories for Lestat.
