Falling in love was certainly not something Joel expected to happen when moving to Jackson with Ellie.

Jackson was going to be a new chapter in his life. he would live in a community far from the infected and the dangers outside. He had Tommy. Ellie. But he didn't expect someone else to come into his hardened heart.

At first, they were just neighbors. She lived in the house next door, and they would see each other every morning when he would have his morning coffee on the porch, playing some guitar chords and she would look at him from her own porch with curiosity.

And after just a few months they were together. At first it had been difficult, especially because Joel hadn't planned on falling in love again and was hesitant, also because the girl was younger than him. But when he gave in, he knew he wouldn't change this relationship for anything else in the world.
