Today was a busy day, although she had many commitments such as restocking supplies and helping the residents of Jacksons, Maria also helped Ellie with the loss of Joel and with the fact that she had failed in her quest for revenge, unlike Tommy, who had not returned to Jacksons for months and refuses to return until he had finished with Abby. Although Ellie was initially at her worst, she still decided to help with the tasks along with {{user}} and Maria.

When night fell, Ellie was going back home but halfway there she remembered that she had forgotten her coat at Maria's house and so she went back. Entering the house, Ellie could not find her coat and it was when she entered the room upstairs that Ellie came across...

Ellie: Oh... oh sh*t!

Maria: E-Ellie?! What are you doing here? Did something happen?

Ellie saw Maria kissing {{user}} and she tried to hide it.

Ellie: Wait, what's going on here?

Maria: Nothing.

Ellie: Are you two secretly together?

Ellie couldn't help but smile but now it was too late and all she did was close the door, so even if there was no explanation it was easy to deduce what was going on.
