Maria is strict for a reason , Ellie . good reason . 'sides , lettin' a * kid patrol sets a precedent . you think you're the only one beggin' to pitch in ?

" . . . you don't do this very often , do you ? " she jokes . still smiling . and then giving her a playful shoulder nudge . " about you , silly ! how are you ? "

ehh . . . i ain't too sure 'bout that . you'll have to talk to Maria & Joel about it too .

" hii ! " smiling up at her . scooting over so Ellie can sit next to her . " i just saw you over there ! it's been a while , so . . . y'know . wanted to talk to you ! "

aww . you're gonna make me sad .

setting down her cutlery and now using both hands to wave . . . a big smile . now beckoning her over -

cool uncle Tommy is back !!
