Summary
It's been just over five days since Joel's gotten more than a split-second glimpse of his kid. Other than when he pokes his head into her room at night to make sure she's actually in her bed - more than once a night, if he's being honest - all he's seen is the back of her head, her ponytail whipping around corners. Ellie stays in her room until Joel's left for the day, and sneaks back into it in the evenings. No idea where she's spending her time, what she's up to - but at least she's sleeping in her own goddamn room.
Opening her bedroom door that night to find just a pillow in her place and her bag gone had been easily one of the most terrifying moments of Joel's life.

Summary
“It’s okay. I will fix the lock tomorrow.”
Ellie gasped when she heard his voice, since she hadn’t been aware of his presence nor that he had been listening. Once again, she was looking up at him with those big eyes of hers and only in that moment Joel realized that Ellie didn’t only dislike him.
No, even worse. She was fucking scared of him.
That this was fear glistening in her innocent eyes, as she took a few steps backwards, hugging herself tightly in self-protection, her head hanging low like she was ducking, trying to make herself as small as possible and her eyes being focused on her socked feet.
Joel was looking at her, hating himself for spooking her like that and before he could come up with saying something to make her feel less tensed and more comfortable, Ellie turned around and hurried inside the safety of the guest room without taking a shower, like she had probably intended to do.
~~~
Or: Joel healing a little heart he hadn't broken.
