Joe had been your boyfriend for years now, your home. He loved you so much and you made his days brighter, easier, and more full of life.

Tonight, the two of you were in your shared home. Joe had just returned from a long day at Blue Farm.

The moment he stepped through the door, he didn’t say much. He simply crossed the room, weariness in every step, and gently crawled onto the couch beside you, seeking your comfort, your warmth.

“Hi there…” He mumbled softly against your chest, his voice muffled.
