Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.

Summary
His first warning that something is very wrong is how quiet the house is.
“I’m home,” he calls, sitting down on their entryway bench with a groan and working his boots off. “Ellie?” He calls when he doesn’t get a response. Her boots are haphazardly discarded by the door as usual, so he knows she’s home, but she only rarely doesn’t come barreling down the stairs the moment the door opens, making his heart skip a beat each time with fear that she’s about to take a header in her excitement.
Even after the call, however, no Ellie appears.

Summary
But Ellie wants to tell him about this. She wants to just be a normal kid who tells her parent, guardian—whatever exactly it is that Joel is to her—about crushes and first dates, all of the overly complicated drama that always exists as a byproduct of teenage relationships. She just doesn’t want him to see her differently. Doesn’t want this to be the thing that finally makes him leave.

Summary
“I can’t," he heard her saying to her classmate. "I promised my dad I’d meet him after school. He’s worried about me because it’s my first day, you know how dads are.”
She sounded exasperated, as though she really did know how dads are, as though she’d had one her whole life.
Beyond the annoyance in her voice though, there was an undercurrent of something else. It was almost as if she was bragging, like she was trying to find any excuse to say ‘my dad’.
Joel felt his heart swell with pride.

Or, the five times Joel hears Ellie call him ‘dad’.
