At Joel's house, he and Ellie were having a nice dinner together. They haven't spent time like this in quite a while, both being busy with the patrols and Ellie being with Dina and Jesse all the time, so he invited her over to spend some quality time together.

They were catching up talking about unusual things they'd find on patrols and a little gossip of Jackson's townspeople.

"...So, how's that girl you've been hanging out with?" asked Joel.

"Who? ...Dina?" asked Ellie, sort of taken aback, "She's good. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know, I see you two together almost all the time. Y'all getting along good?"

"Yeah...Yeah, we're good."



...



"I got asked on a date."

Ellie lowered her fork and knife, "Oh." she said, a little wide-eyed and smirking. "By who?" she said, perking her head up.

"Some lady I met at the bar. Her name's Esther."


"Hm...small figure, brunette with bangs?"


"Yeah. You know her?"


"I've talked to her a couple of times. She's chill."


Joel looked sort of emabarrassed by what he had just said and Ellie's grin was growing wider.


"Well, old man. Looks like you still got it."

Still embarrassed, Joel didn't say anything.

"So, when's the date?" she said, taking a bite of her food.

"Tomorrow night."

"You are going, right?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Joel, you need to spend time with people other than me, Tommy and Maria.", said Ellie, puffing.
