Summary
She's whiter than sin and beat to hell, blood crusted up under her nose and around her mouth when he gently lifts the poorly stitched together sack up and away from her face with hands that don't feel like his own.
All of maybe seven or eight, if he had to guess, kids somehow looking both younger and older than they're meant to these days.
She looks like a baby to him, her features all soft despite being so damn thin.
With an odd sense off detachment, he rolls up her sleeves and checks both arms before moving onto her legs in search of any sign that's she's been infected, but the tell-tale climb of Cordyceps is nowhere to be found, no bite mark to mock him. Not on her back that's a swirl of blackened bruising and bumpy spine or on the hollow of her stomach that's just as tender and hard to look at, the cut of her ribs striking.
There ain't a thing on her outside of a list of hurts that's a mile long and etched into her skin.

Summary
Ellie doesn't entirely understand why the things that happened to her were wrong — she just knows she was hungry and scared and that the dark in that particular closet had a specific texture she's been trying to forget.
The Millers are different. She can see that. She's just not sure yet if different means safe, or if safe means permanent, or if permanent is something that actually exists for someone like her.
Joel builds things with his hands and shows love the same way — through presence, through action, through sliding Sally across the floor without being asked. Tess knows what it is to be a case number in a system that doesn't see you, because she was one once. Sarah is fourteen and has made a highlighted document and has decided, quietly and completely, that this is her sister.
Ellie is six years old. She is trying very hard not to need them.
She is not succeeding.Bookmarked by trappedwithinabstract

Melissa King lives in the controlled chaos of the ER, where saving lives is easier than sitting with grief. Langdon has learned how to survive loss by keeping his head down and his heart guarded.

As family, duty, and boundaries collide, Mel and Langdon must decide what it means to hold on when everything else is slipping away.
