Summary
It’s strange sometimes, thinking about fourteen. Fourteen seemed so far away from twelve, with Sarah. Fourteen was high school and the travel soccer team she wanted to join and maybe a part time job. Fourteen seemed grown up, compared to his little girl.
Fourteen now is different, with Ellie. Fourteen means she’s seen more violence than she ever should have. Fourteen means two years away from being forced to join the military. Fourteen is jaded about dead bodies. But fourteen is also sleeping in the passenger seat like a little kid. Fourteen was full of awe at actual fireflies. Fourteen is sweet and scared and so much younger than he remembers.
Fourteen is a strange age to think about.
Or: Ellie sleeps and Joel has feelings.
