    Summary

    “Look at me,” Ellie said, watching as Joel took a deep breath and finally met her eyes. That voice in the back of her head that always warned her against danger or threats was screaming at her to fucking listen. “You’re... lying to me.”

    “El—”

    “Why are you fucking lying to me, Joel?”

    “I’m not—”

    “Stop!” Ellie screamed, stomping her foot. “Just stop.”

    OR: Ellie wakes up in a car after Salt Lake City, and Joel tells her the truth about the fireflies.

    Summary

    For all the jokes she’s made about Joel’s name twin, on the day Joel Hendrix is brought back beaten and bloody in a body bag, Ellie isn’t feeling very light-hearted.

    Especially when the body is followed by his sobbing daughter, only a year older than Ellie herself. She keeps her eyes on Tanner as she staggers by, held up by Tommy, who was sent out on the rescue patrol to bring the Hendrixes back after they broke protocol and split from their group to go after an elk and then failed to check back in.

    Apparently they found something significantly worse than a lucky hunt in the middle of winter.

    (what if the fireflies killed the wrong joel?)

    Summary

    It all seems so easy for him.

    Why is he so comfortable being away from her? Is he finally starting to wise up to what everyone else did- Ellie isn’t good enough? Is he starting to realize this kid is just a burden, a pest, a troublemaker who isn’t worth all the strife she brings?

    Is he regretting bringing her here with him?

     

    (Ellie worries about being apart from Joel in Jackson- so the logical solution is to sneak out and eavesdrop on Tommy and him at the tavern)
