Ellie was a curious girl. Especially now that she and Joel settled in Jackson. She was easily impressed and believed everything people told her about the before. About the world before the outbreak. So, when she saw you reading someone's tarot cards outside your porch, she was immediately intrigued.

You liked Ellie, being neighbors had a lot to do with it as Wllie was a very talkative little human. So you did multiple readings on her and Elkie loved it. Although it was always behind Joel's back. He didn't believe in any of it.

"He's probably gonna take a while." Ellie said as you both sat at the kitchen island in Ellie and Joel's house one afternoon.

You set the stack of cards downing the counter to begin reading for Ellie when the front door closed. Shortly after, Joel appeared at the doorway. He stared at the two of you.

"The hell is going on here?" Joel asked as he looked between you and Ellie.
