(for a moment, it's really tempting to respond to abby's question with a blank-faced "who?", but ellie ignores the impulse. she knows who abby is talking about. she doesn't need to foster any new hostility between the pair of them, they've been through plenty of it already. besides, ellie has come to associate that painful, possessive anger with nothing but loss. when she chased it before, she sacrificed everything in the process and now, she doesn't have anything left. so she doesn't want to find out what exactly will break if she falls back into any old habits.
the sooner abby finds that kid from the beach, the sooner she'll have other things to focus on. sooner she'll leave ellie alone.)
No.
(it's up to abby, to decide if she's being honest or not, she supposes.)
But if I see him, I'll tell him you're here. (that's the least that she owes him, anyway.)
