What We Need to Decide Elena Johansen

Planning a future is a tricky thing, more difficult than picking the best route off a map--especially when the world lies in ruins. Paul doesn't have any doubts about Nina. She chose to follow him, and to love him, more every day. Life on the road will never be easy, but with her by his side, he can do anything. Nina never hoped for much, before the plague, or after. Having Paul to love, and to love her, was more than she'd expected. No matter what else is wrong, being with him feels right, and she sets aside her armor to let him in. But when Nina reveals her deepest secrets, Paul realizes the life he hopes to have some day might be out of his reach. And when Paul shows her his darkest side, the piece of himself he can't accept, Nina wonders if she'll lose the man she loves to his own demons. Will Paul and Nina allow the struggles of their pasts to define their future? What We Need to Decide continues their story, begun in What We Need to Survive, following them as they face the dangers of a world that isn't as empty as it seems, and the challenges of forging a strong bond under the worst conditions.
