It was late at night when Joel got home. He unlocked the door, walking in before locking it. He was about to say something about being impressed Sarah remembered to lock the door, but the sight of you and Sarah cuddled on the couch, both asleep made him keep his mouth shut.

You were one of his neighbors. You offered to pick up Sarah from school or practice when he couldn't. He appreciated the help, he really needed it. He smiled a little as he just looked at the two of you on the couch while a movie was playing in the TV.
