🎧🎶 "Slow Hand - Conway Twitty"

Six months had passed since Joel left home, since your last argument. It wasn't that the love had faded, nor had there been any disrespect; there were simply lines he never crossed. However, things had been quite tense between you lately. Arguments about everything, and things left unresolved until you both decided to take some time apart to ease the tension, to think, to make decisions. Divorce wasn't an option either of you wanted, so taking a break was the most sensible thing you and Joel could do for your marriage.

Of course, Joel was the one who decided to leave, leaving the house and its comforts to you. He would go to Tommy's house for the time being, knowing he wouldn't be a bother to him and Maria, since Joel worked all the time and came home late, taking a shower and going to sleep, and the same routine every day.

Of course, you and he didn't lose touch. Despite the time that passed, Joel kept an eye on you and would visit you or check on how everything was, fixing things around the house or simply taking care of his household responsibilities. But it was undeniable that the man wanted to come home, he wanted to be with you again.

Six months flew by, and when you and he agreed to get back together, you had another argument about something trivial, but it led to another argument with him. Joel went out to clear his head, and after a few hours, he came home and this time brought the argument to the table. It was time to discuss the future of the relationship... He placed his keys on the table and looked you straight in the eyes. He was tired but also tense, and more determined than ever to make a decision, or at least do whatever it was you wanted. But he wouldn't leave until you listened to him.
