Summary
Of the things Ellie could choose to spend her time on as a teenager who has finally recovered enough from playing labrat to be awake for longer than an hour at a time, he supposes there are worse things she could pick.
It doesn’t make the idea of a frog hotel less weird, though.
“And what is the point of this again?” He asks as Ellie carefully rearranges spare bits of pipe she asked him to bring home from his current jobsite for the sake of this project of hers. They’re on arrangement twenty-three by this point, and he’s not entirely sure that these “hotel guests” of hers are going to care about the aesthetic of their accommodation as much as Ellie clearly thinks they will.
Still, it's the most enthusiastic he’s seen her about anything in weeks, so if playing frog preference architect makes her happy, he’ll do his time shifting pipes around at her instruction.
He’s done far worse for her, after all.

Summary
Still, a part of her held on to that small piece of wishful thinking. The image of that family, all screaming and grinning and just loving life with one another. Would she ever have someone love her the way those parents loved their kids?
Well, in a super weird, unanticipated turn of events, at twenty-one, she does.
Joel Miller is a fifty-something (he doesn’t like to be specific) grouchy contractor with a lot of painful emotional baggage and a gruff exterior that she never thought she’d crack through.
Wrong. So, so wrong.

Summary
Sarah Miller is, without a doubt, a daddy’s girl.
She never stood a chance, really. It’s always been just her and her father. Her mama died when she was just a baby, so young she couldn’t remember her face if she tried. And Daddy never brought home no girls from the bars or giggly waitresses like Uncle Tommy used to before he met Aunt Maria.
Never in her life has she had to share him.
That is, until Daddy comes home late on Thursday evening with news for Sarah.
(Ellie is a foster kid- Joel and Sarah take her in)

Summary
It wouldn’t be such a problem if she didn’t have such a massive crush on Dina, a crush that sometimes feels like it might be going somewhere when their eyes meet or Dina does stuff like reaching out to fix her ponytail for her, which sends little sparks of electricity throughout her entire body. They even linked pinkies during the last movie night, when Joel had opted out to go play poker with Tommy at the bar so she hadn’t been sitting next to him for once.
She wants to tell him so badly, wants to include him in this part of her life. She knows from other kids that they don’t usually tell their parents who they like, at least not until they’re dating or something, but Joel’s the person she wants to tell everything to. He’s always her first stop after a successful hunt or a good grade on a test or the highest score at archery practice. She wants to tell him about Dina, wants to be able to bring Dina around him. She likes being at home more than she likes most things, and she wants to be able to have Dina over in the place that she likes the most. She wants to pull Dina into game night with them and Tommy and Maria, wants to slowly knit her into their little family.

Summary
“I think Waylon might be sweet on you,” Joel says teasingly on one of these afternoons, after they’ve parted ways with Waylon to go home.
She’s so surprised that she laughs, thinking it’s a joke.
Then she sees Joel’s smile, confident that he’s hitting a good point for teasing.
“Waylon’s-” She starts before she stops. Waylon’s gay, is what she was going to say, but that’s not her secret to tell. Waylon and Zack aren’t private about it when it’s just them and Dina and Jesse, and she knows their families know, but she hasn’t missed how they don’t usually get too touchy around other people.
For the first time, she consciously thinks about why that might be.
The so am I she could finish the thought with suddenly seems like a very bad idea.
