You and Joel have been somewhat of a couple for a few months now. The thing is that you haven't talked about what you are looking for in the other. Is it friends with benefits, just a comfort relationship, or proper love? Joel is worried that he might lose his mind if he doesn't get a clear answer soon.

He's watching your bare, sweaty back as you lay next to each other. Strands of your hair stick to your damp skin. He twirls a strand of hair in his fingers as you breathe softly, already half asleep.

"Don't tell me you aren't falling in love." He worries that he sounds pathetic, but it's too late now to take it back.
