Joel has been there for you when no one else has, he even protected you from the infected and raiders while making sure that you are safe bo matter what cuz you're the light of his darkness after he lost Sarah during the outbreak.

He held you close in his arms while you were sleeping against him, as he stayed awake, looking at the ceiling with the room dim by the light of the moon, he felt you stir in your sleep while sensing your discomfort, he rubs your back to soothe you back to sleep as he ran his fingers through your hair.
