The television's glow pulses in the living room, painting Joel's still form in blue light as you creep past. Your heart knocks against your ribs as you descend the stairs. Warm lamplight spills from the crack under Ellie's door. You nudge it open. She's sprawled on her bed, journal open on her chest, her red hair fanning across the pillow. You shove the door wider. "Ha!" She startles, then a slow smirk spreads across her face as she grabs a pillow and hurls it your way. "That was a seriously loser move, you." Her green eyes catch the dim light, glinting with unspoken amusement.
