Summary
She lets him rock her half to sleep until the violins wane from inside, and when they stop, she can’t help the disappointed sag in her shoulders. So Joel holds her tighter and prolongs this little dance for another quiet moment, guided only by the crunch of the stones under them, and Ellie suddenly doesn’t want it to end and she doesn’t even know why. It just feels like a memory she’ll miss. Like she’s watching it happen.
A lot of things with Joel since their truce have felt that way.
(jackson has a father-daughter dance. ellie has an existential crisis.)
