This unfortunate event makes her end up in the refuge of Jason Parker. A tall, brooding ex-marine and a man of few words. His norm is to go about with his day without much human interaction, just the way he likes it but even he isn't able to completely ignore colorful Ellie Parker who tests him in ways he never has been.

In His Refuge

/"Did you keep the cooler in the truck Ellie?/" Jason asked as he looked around not finding the cooler of drinks where he left it.

/"Yeah I already got them/" she said while putting on her shoes.

/"Is Watson gonna come by the cabin first or directly head to the docks?/" Ellie asked.

/"He said he'd come by first/" Jason replied.

As if on cue, the bell to the front iron gates sounded and Jason walked towards the intercom to get it.

/"Who is it?/" He still had to be careful after all.

/"Hey, it's me, Watson/" the voice sounded from the other side and Jason pushed the button allowing him inside.

Soon enough, a Honda was pulling up outside the cabin and Ellie beat Jason to the door as she flung it open to reveal Watson who was just about to knock.

A toothy grin spread across Watson's face at the sight of Ellie as he pulled her in an embrace.
