Drabble set at the very beginning of their journey while waiting for Tess to come to the apartment, with Ellie watching the rain while Joel naps. I wrote the rough draft right after playing that part of the game last - and it turned out like a companion piece to "Detach" although I didn't intend for it to be :)

Like many I was confused by the game's ending; so I decided to write my ideas on what Joel and Ellie may have been thinking. From there it accidentally turned into a story about life at Tommy's, how they will adjust and how the quiet life may turn out to be not at all that quiet. This is my first ever story, so please send me your impressions, positive or constructive!
