    Summary

    “I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.

    “Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”

    “Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”

    Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.

    “Jesus fucking Christ.”

    Summary

    He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.

    The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.

    “This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”

    “Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”

    He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.

    This is his second hint.

    Summary

    As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
    My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
    My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

    Summary

    When it reaches Naim’s mouth, he bites off his finger, breaking skin. Naim hurries as fast as he can back down the hill under the power lines and through the weeds, dazed and terrified. He doesn't bother climbing back through the window. He runs up the front steps and bangs on the locked front door. He’s panicking now. In a neighbour's window, a light comes on. Naim's mother, woken from a dead sleep, lets him in. When she sees the blood on Naim's mouth, she seems to know exactly what happened. She's already moving.
