o. SELCOUTH.
❝ She never planned on getting in this deep.
Not with the Royal Merchant Mystery.
Not with the Pogues.
And definitely not with JJ Maybank. ❞

"That's Eleanor, but we call her Elle.
Eleanor Jones wasn't exactly hard to know about. I'd knew she had a thing for JJ-Knew Ivy thought it was embarrassing.
...Knew she was too shy to tell him how she felt.
I knew her dad worked the water-I'd seen him around the docks couple times over the years. Usually before sunrise when everybody else was still asleep. Then one day he started getting bigger jobs, better contracts, and before long the Jones family packed up and moved from The Cut to Figure Eight.
Thing was, Eleanor never really left.
She still went to school on the cut side, still worked shifts at The Wreck after class, still knew everybody's name and everybody's business whether she wanted to or not.
Kiara always said Elle could talk her way into ...or out of anything.
Pope said she asks too many questions.
And JJ pretended not to notice her staring at him in the hallway.
Personally, I always thought Elle was one of those people who somehow belonged everywhere. Too "cut" for the Kooks. Too "Kook" for the Pogues. Stuck somewhere in the middle.
And, well....that never ends well, now. Does it?"
