Summary
When Joel died he had taken a piece of Ellie with him, a piece she’d thought was lost forever until the moment she released her hands from ‘round Abby’s neck, letting the woman go free. The piece had always been with her, she had eventually come to realize, just buried deep under layers and layers and grief and rage and blinding fear. Maybe she would have found it on her own one day if she’d stayed at the farm, surrounding herself with nothing but Dina and JJ’s love, but she really couldn’t tell you. If she were being honest, she didn’t think she would have.
-OR-
Santa Barbara provided the closure Ellie so desperately needed, but she comes to find out that sparing Abby's life was just the beginning of an uphill battle for redemption. Every action in life comes at a cost--Ellie just hopes she can pay it.
