[Joel had put in some time fixing up their crappy apartment, one that never really seemed that crappy to Ellie. She liked having set dinner times, a fucking dinner table, and having a routine. She liked sitting on the sofa and listening to Joel and Tess talk in their room. She liked coming "home" and plopping down next to Joel, sticking her face into whatever he was reading just to annoy him. She liked getting told to put her things away in her room. It was hers.
They hadn't had that life for long, but holy crap was it good compared to life before.]
