Right now, this is the happiest Joel has been since Ellie disappeared. He feels her absence, terribly - she's never far from his thoughts at any given time of the day - but right now, it's not hurting as much. ]

He hasn't quite finished his meal but he sets his plate aside to take a small break. Stretching his legs out and crossing his feet ankle over ankle, he leans back against his hand while sipping his beer. ] So, what d'you wanna do tomorrow? We could go hiking. Or we could go fishing. [ Another sip of his beer. ] Heh. Pity we don't got a little boat or somethin'. Nothin' nicer than being out on the calm water. Somethin' we oughta think about getting, huh?
