Summary
Just a regular day, but they were the days Ellie liked the most.
Then Tommy came over.
That, in itself, wasn’t the problem. The problem was the fact that he had interrupted their breakfast by pounding on the door like someone was dying. Ellie flashed a look to Joel, but he was already standing, looking slightly worried as he walked toward the front door just beyond the kitchen. Tommy beat him to it, opening their front door just as Joel reached it.
“Joel.”
The word was spoken with such soft desperation that Ellie was on her feet in an instant. Something was wrong, something was happening, and whatever it was had Tommy shaken enough to say Joel’s name like that.
“Joel. There’s a woman at the gate.”
(Or Sarah lives! somehow! And Ellie is forced to realize her place besides Joel now that his REAL daughter is home)

Summary
Joel had always believed in names.
Parent. Friend. Partner. Lover.
Names drew lines, and if you stayed within them, you stayed decent.
But Ellie never fit into any of those lines.
To her, the man who stood by her the longest had shifted roles again and again in her heart, until a birthday surprise stripped away the fog and showed her where she truly stood.
When her feelings come into focus, Joel is caught between desire and restraint, truth and lies. The ghost of Salt Lake threatens to tip everything into ruin, forcing Joel to choose: walk away, or fight for something new.
He just never expected how fierce Ellie’s anger, or jealousy, could burn.Bookmarked by Chrispi_lover
