Summary
Ellie’s just trying to get through another editorial shoot in her LA studio—one more afternoon of soft light and clients who want to look effortless on camera. What she doesn’t expect is Dina. Late, radiant, and armed with iced coffees and wicked charm. Dina disarms Ellie from the second she walks in.
As the shoot unfolds—outfit changes, flirty banter, unguarded laughter—something shifts. The lens can’t quite capture what’s building between them: the stolen glances, the gentle touch, the sexual tension.
By the time Dina leaves, Ellie knows exactly what’s happened.
She’s been caught in the flash of something real.

Summary
JJ's eyes are Ellie's favorite thing.
Two deep brown galaxies, always so full of wonder and an immense affection she never deserved.
They'd look up and watch her intently—like she was something so important. Like she held the moon and the stars and his future in her hands.
It's terrifying.
Was terrifying.
She misses his eyes, and how they swam in the sunlight to create a new color. How they sparkled when Dina spoke to him in a way that made him laugh.
She can never get them right on paper. And she tries. And tries.
His laugh used to be so clear in her mind.
~
Ellie returns to Jackson. And shovels the snow in Dina's yard, every day.

Summary
Dina raises her mug, holds it out for him to clank against.
“What exactly are we cheersin’ to?” Joel asks, smacking his cup against hers without an answer.
She takes a sip, swallowing her tanned, sweetened coffee and releasing a long, “Ahhh,” as she does so. “To…loving people enough that you stay awake the whole night for them.”
Joel doesn’t repeat it back, just lets the words settle deep in his gut, sliding on down his esophagus much like hot coffee that burns the whole way.
“Sure thing, kiddo. Sure thing.”
or: The Joel and Dina become something like best buds despite Ellie refusing to so much as even acknowledge Joel's existence fic.

Summary
There’s so much she wants to say. Where she is, what she’s doing, that she misses Greta, that she stopped by a pizza restaurant and thought of her the whole time. That she thinks of Greta day and night, waking and sleeping. That she counts down the days until they’re back together next season.
