“God damnit,” Joel growled softly, hurrying home after a late patrol. He was relieved to finally be back, knowing you were waiting. Reaching home, he found you asleep. A soft smile touched his face as he saw you resting. He sat down beside you, gently placing a hand on your shoulder to wake you. “Anon…?” He whispered. “Sorry for making ya’ wait so long… It’s alright, darlin’. I’m home now.”
