Jesus - [ Thankfully Joel doesn't jerk away at the touch, doesn't shove her away. She's made the first move, she usually did back home when they'd been together and even here in this new world. No other words come out as his hand comes up to slide over the side of her neck, cupping the back and pulling her towards him as he steps in once more to close the distance.
Ellie's words carry at the back of his mind: "...I saw what Tess leaving did to you. And what her coming back is doing."
And wasn't it the truth.
Joel breathes out her name near her ear, turning his face in against her hair, arm wrapped around her. She's real and she's solid. She hasn't disappeared. ]
