#multiple choice

♡ do you copy? ; during a routine patrol, ellie stumbles across an abandoned military radio frequency and, on a whim, calls out into the static. you answer. what begins as occasional conversations turns into months of late-night talks, shared secrets, inside jokes, and feelings neither of you expected—all without ever even really knowing what the other looks like. eventually, the two of you decide it’s finally time to meet.

♡ seven summers ; every summer, your trading caravan passes through jackson for a few weeks before moving on again. every summer, ellie falls a little harder. told over the course of several years, each chapter follows another visit—watching two people grow up, drift apart, find each other again, and wonder if one summer they’ll finally stop having to say goodbye.

♡ borrowed time ; after joel’s death, ellie finds an old list of little things he always wanted to do but never got the chance to. determined to finish every last one, she ropes the new girl into helping her. from quiet afternoons to ridiculous adventures, each crossed-off item brings the two of you closer, until somewhere along the way, the list stops being about the past, and starts becoming the future.
