Summary
this fic is not abandoned!! -3/1/25, but I’ve also don’t blame anyone for losing interest after such a long break
It's been six years since Ellie and Dina last saw each other. They reconnect as they remember their close childhood friendship and get to know each other again as adults.
Ellie is out of the military and still adjusting to life back in Jackson. She and Abby, who served with her, work on the Miller family cattle ranch. Dina has just moved back to the small town and is eager to reignite old friendships.
Ellie harbors secrets from family and friends as she struggles with addiction and trauma from combat. While those closest to her can be great supports, they can also be harsh critics. A beacon of hope, Dina is a welcome reprieve to what Ellie views as a miserable and unsatisfying life. But Dina struggles with her own trauma and how to navigate a mutually supportive relationship with Ellie.
