Summary
It’s Ellie who notices you first, halfway into their first year in Jackson.
“Did you know that one weird mute lady down the street makes bread?” she demands as she storms into the living room, clutching a wrapped loaf of bread. “And she just gives it away?”
“She ain’t weird just ‘cause she don’t talk, Ellie,” Joel sighs wearily as he sits up on the couch he had been sprawled across.
“Okay, she’s weird ‘cause she keeps to herself, then.” Ellie aims a raised eyebrow back at him. “Sound familiar?”
[In which Joel helps his quiet neighbor open Jackson's first bakery, and she makes fast friends with Ellie by plying her with baked goods.]
