The light beckons you over like a moth to a flame, and your weary bones follow, taking you across three lawns and up the steps, straight into the arms of Joel Miller.

Summary
Joel stops, all the muscles in his body locked up, the rifle half-raised and the barrel pointed at the knees of a mangy man with a thick neck and stringy hair. He’s got one hand locked around the back of Ellie’s neck, fingertips gripping hard enough that even from here Joel can tell she’ll have bruises.
His other hand is pressing a thin blade against the front of her throat.
He nods at the gun in Joel’s hands. “Drop it.”

Summary
On the sixth snatched lunch, he decides to wait and watch. It’s childish, but they’d finally had help in so work had gone quickly enough that he could work on making cuts for the cabinet framing.
And it just so happens to offer the perfect viewpoint to watch his lunch bag on the passenger side of his truck without being immediately visible.
He waits in the hours before lunch ready for a fight, ready to storm out and confront his little shit of a little brother. He knows it’s Tommy. He knows it.
And then a little head with a brown ponytail sticks out of a bush, and he starts to wonder what he knows after all.
The girl looks around furtively, darts forward, jumps up to get her arm over the open window, makes a basket of her shirt, shakes out the contents, tosses the bag back in, and darts off, disappearing into the bushes once more.
All while he stands on the sidelines, saw still in hand.

Summary
“Maybe we should see if a doctor can stop by,” he says at the same time she says “No no no no.”
He sighs and sits beside her carefully. He rests a hand on the back of her head, and despite herself, it’s soothing.
“Just to make sure nothing’s wrong,” he says in a calm, reasonable tone that doesn’t do anything but wind her up. “We can-”
“It’s a period,” she says flatly. “It’s just a bad one.”
“Ell-”
“Do you have a uterus?” She demands. “No? Shut the fuck up then.”
It’s way more aggressive than she’d usually get with him, but there’s no goddamn way she’s going to the clinic, especially just to have a doctor laugh at her for being freaked out by a period.
It took her weeks to get out of the hospital in Salt Lake, and that was for the sake of creating the cure they brought back with them.
Hopping right back into another one? And for some stupid period cramps?
No fucking way.

Summary
He frowns and picks the picture up, angling it to better see it in the light of the fluorescents of the hallway shining in. He looks over to Ellie’s sleeping face, smooth now in a brief reprieve from nightmares. He looks back to the picture. Back to Ellie. Back to the picture.
It’s…it’s her. It has to be. Same nose, same eyes, same ears. The baby has the soft roundness of a young infant that makes it hard to tell jaw shape or cheekbones, but there’s no denying it.
He’s holding a picture of an infant Ellie.
