Summary
“This is private property.”
Her head snaps up, eyes narrowed as her lips curl into a snarl. “No shit? I thought this was a public fucking park.”
Joel levels a glare at the kid as he loads the washer. “It ain’t. These machines are for residents, not runaways.”
“I’m not a fucking runaway,” she snaps, squaring her shoulders and drawing her backpack closer. “And I am a resident. Kid of the week for the Jenkins. You know, the people who live in 3E?”
“And the Jenkins have you down here doin’ laundry after school every day?” he asks with incredulity.
She glances around the room, a uniquely teenage disdain in her sneer as she surveys the silent machines. “Obviously.”

Summary
After Kansas City, Joel and Ellie agree it'd be safer if people believed they're father and daughter.
-----
“I don’t really get it,” she said, “but I trust you.”
Joel blinked down at her, wearing that same expression from last time: like he wished she didn’t trust him at all. But then he wiped it away and refocused on the road ahead of them, a long brown ribbon unspooling over the gently rolling hills. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Ellie. You know that, right?”
“Yup. Thought that was already established, given I trusted you to watch my back during the clicker swarm, but—” She shrugged. “You got me this far. I trust you’ll get me even farther.”
