Summary
"Should be slow enough to take a dinner break at six. If you haven't eaten." He says it to her but is looking at his chart. "The cafeteria's doing those sandwiches that are actually good today."
She stares at him for a second. He looks up, meets her eyes, and the expression on his face is the most unguarded she's seen it. He doesn’t really look nervous, but it’s something in that neighborhood, and she suddenly feels very, very seen. "I know about the sandwiches," she says finally, semi-joking.
"Right," he says. "So. Six." It's not really a question. It's barely even an invitation, technically.
"Six," she says, and turns back around before her face can do anything she'll regret.
(or, Langdon's back from rehab. Mel doesn't have it in herself to steer clear of him.)

Summary
“Can I ask you a question?” Ellie asks when Joel meets her eyes. She juggles the soccer ball in her hands, dropping it several times before accepting defeat and kicking it back into the grass.
“No.”
“Do you ever take that cowboy hat off?” she continues.
(or, Joel's a cowboy, and Ellie wants him to take her to Colorado)

Summary
Ellie wakes at dawn covered in dirt again.
“Morning,” she whispers to his headstone. She foolishly waits for a reply.
She considers digging her own grave right next to Joel’s, and thinks that she might be more content existing forever with his skeleton than with only the memory of him.
(or, Ellie returns to Jackson, but can't find a way to return to herself)

Summary
Once he lost Sarah, he was left standing in the middle of a vast lake, where the waters are so motionless that the world around him seems frozen in time.
Trapped in a limbo of stillness, he waits for something to break the surface and set him in motion once again.
Staring out into the shore, he thinks he might see Ellie with an outstretched hand.
(or, Joel rediscovering fatherhood)

Summary
Holding his breath, JJ runs a hand over the wood of the guitar, feeling the little dents and cracks that tell a story all of their own, one JJ wishes to know one day. Despite those little flaws the guitar is beautiful, colored a rich red-brown with a moth painted on the neck. Carefully JJ plucks the thickest string and the deep sound that comes from the body of the guitar runs right through his bones.
"Jesse Joel Williams!"
Oh boy.
"Get down here or so help me!"
JJ snatches his hand back and hastily closes the case.
"Coming!"
__
JJ has questions, forcing Ellie to confront the memories she buried a long time ago.
