Chuck dropped down onto the bed beside her after a moment with a deep sigh.

"So--"

No, he didn't really know where he was going with that. What were they supposed to say about something like this?

"Have I mentioned I'm glad you're here?" Ellie said quietly. That seemed like a good thing to say.

"You have," Chuck said, and sent a slightly hesitant smile her way as he went to put an arm around his sister for a half a hug. "But I'll always take more."

"Kinda glad I'm here too, in a weird way."

Ellie was grateful for the hug. It was definitely needed. "Chuck...I think this just proves that we can really only rely on each other."

She felt it was something that needed to be said.

And it was so true.

Chuck nodded, even though he hated to admit it, in some ways. He'd always want to be able to count on his dad. Even when he knew he couldn't.

"I'm not planning on going anywhere."
