Summary
Five times Joel offers to braid Ellie's hair, and one time Ellie asks him to.
-----
“So you’ve been asking people for, what, tips?” Ellie asked.
“Yep," Joel said. "All done.”
She raised her free hand to her hair, brushing her fingertips over the braid with her head bowed, so he couldn’t see her face. “But…why?”
He plucked the notebook from her hand and rested his palm on her head, fingertips brushing her forehead. If he couldn’t see her frown, he could at least feel it. “Because that’s what dads do for their daughters, kiddo.”
With a shaky inhale, she whirled to hug him, pressing her face into his hip. He rested his hand on the back of her head. Sooner or later, she’d get used to him referring to her like that. She’d had this same reaction when he let her look over her school registration forms to find he’d put her last name down as Miller and marked himself as her dad.
Sure, he sometimes still got misty-eyed about it, but he was better at hiding it.
