Of course she ain't. Everyone who knew about it must be...

[He trails off. Are there words big enough for that feeling?]

[vaccination]

...dead, for the most part.

[She knows. Tommy. Abby.]

[stand_unshaken]

Yeah. That's the way it seems to go.

You been through a lot, kid.

[vaccination]

Maybe. Tess isn't making it any fucking easier, that's for sure.

[Unfortunately, life here would be a lot easier if she wasn't around. Whatever insider info and experience she brings? Ellie feels like the stress and guilt aren't worth the exchange.

And just thinking that makes her feel like shit.]

[stand_unshaken]

And you ain't makin' it easier for her, neither.

[vaccination]

Oh, yeah?

[That's one way to get Ellie to bristle.]

As far I know, I'm the one who's ended up with the bloody nose and the stolen shit. She comes after me. I'd leave her the fuck alone if she'd actually stay the hell away.

[stand_unshaken]

[He rolls his eyes - spare him.]

You don't take that as a sign? Just because she ain't staying away don't mean it ain't hard.
