CHAPTER EIGHT

After leaving the building, they checked the corpses. There wasn’t as much ammo on them as David was hoping for, but he was already decently decked out with gear. He still had his SMG, and now he had two pistols. The other two women were about as equally armed, and definitely more skilled than him with fighting, and had better reflexes, clearly. As soon as they were finished, the trio set out, heading due east.

For a bit, nobody spoke.

Finally, David began to find the silence oppressive and tried to strike up a conversation. “So, Ellie, um, how have you been doing?” he asked.

“Fine,” she replied after a few seconds, like she’d been lost in thought and it had taken her a moment to realize that he’d spoken. “You?”

“Well, we’re moved into the campgrounds. We’re making good progress. Evie and April are doing okay,” he said.

“That’s good, at least. You’ve got a good place there. Pretty secure, not a lot of dangerous people or things around...what about you, Cait? It’s been a few days since I’ve seen you. Where have you been exactly?” Ellie asked.

David glanced over. Cait was blushing. “You know...around,” she murmured.

“What the fuck’s that supposed to mean?” Ellie asked, shooting her a glance. “You’re blushing. What’s going on? What could you possibly be embarrassed about?”

“Well...David and I are...an item?” Cait replied.

“You’re embarrassed about that?” David asked.

“No! I mean-” she sighed heavily. “No. I’m not. I just...Ellie’s...difficult.”

“How the fuck am I difficult?” Ellie snapped.

“How are you not?” Cait replied immediately. “I know you want to give me shit for this.”

“No I’m-not,” she said, stumbling, probably realizing that she was gearing up for that.

“See! You knew it! You always give me shit.”

“I’m just fucking teasing you, Cait! That’s our relationship...I mean, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. It is. It’s just...sometimes, it feels too...genuine. It has teeth, you know?”

Ellie fell silent for several seconds. Well, this had certainly gone from casual to serious in record time. “I’m sorry,” she said finally, her voice quiet. “I don’t mean to. I never mean to hurt you, Cait. You’re my friend. I just...have difficulties...with trust. And...letting people get close to me.”

“I know,” Cait replied quietly. “It’s okay. I understand. This whole thing has me feeling vulnerable, and I’m realizing it’s actually been awhile since I’ve felt vulnerable and...well, I have let you close, Ellie. I care about what you think. Your words hold more power than most.”

“I get that. I’m sorry, I’ll try to be less of a jerk in the future.” She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “So, you two are...an item? Where the fuck does that phrase even come from? And what? Are you an item on a shelf with other items in this relationship?” she asked, then groaned and looked down. “I’m sorry, that was mean.”

“No,” Cait said, and giggled. “It was kinda funny. It’s okay. But yeah, I guess you could say that. I’ve decided to...not really move in, per say, but have a room dedicated to me. Well, me and you actually.
