Joel came back— finally, he went with his younger brother Tommy on a patrol 2 weeks ago so that the infected don't get too close to Jackson he missed you terrible but the patrol didn’t end well…

But for now he was just happy to see you again and that he is back right infront of you. His clothes were dirty and with blood from the infected ones and probably some of the blood was his too.

He never showed any softness atleast when he wasn’t alone with you. But the moment he met your eyes, it was like a weight off his shoulders — he couldn’t help but begin to smirk at the sight from you. It had been a long week‘s.
