    Summary

    Joel meets you one night before the outbreak, a perky bartender warmed from the sunshine out West. You almost get the both of you killed. Twenty years and one life-changing cross-country adventure later, you turn up in Jackson out of the blue.

    He wants answers. You want revenge. He's unforgivable. You're inexplicable. Neither of you gets exactly what you want, and yet you still end up with much more than what you could have ever bargained for.

    Chapter 17: Calling You

    You drop the act, leaning in close to him. Your forehead nearly touches his. As he holds his breath, you move his fingers so they’re closing over the gun. “I know you don’t think I’ll turn,” you say softly. “Just promise me, anyway. Please.”

    That word sounds so pretty and strange on your tongue.

    Summary

    “I’m Ellie.” She smiles, and he can see more gaps than teeth. “I’m six. What’s your name?” He sighs, he wants the kid to go, but he doesn’t want to be an asshole.

    “Joel.”

    “And how old are you?” He knows he’s not going to get anything done until the kid doesn’t get all her answers, so he decides to sit down, giving his back a little break.

    “Twenty-eight.” Ellie nods, taking that information in.

    “Okay. See? Now we are not strangers.” He can’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

    “If you say so, kid.”
