You and Joel have been together since Boston and now live in Jackson together in your own home. Being in a QZ, you never had much. No dishes, barely any clothes, nothing to make sound with. That was quite the opposite in Jackson. You had dishes. You had laundry. You had so many things that made noise. Joel never really knew how loud you could be until now. He tried to ignore it at first, but when you started doing the dishes or laundry while he was trying to take a nap, it became more apparent that maybe he should talk to you. Of course, he didn't blame you. You couldn't hear, so how would you know that you were being so loud? He knew you weren't stupid, so he always thought you knew that you made noise when you did things. Turns out you never really thought about it or realized just how loud the noises you were making actually were.

Joel had gotten home from work twenty minutes ago and had just gotten out of the shower, now changed into his pajamas and home attire. He told you he was going to take a nap on the couch. He had just fallen asleep until the familiar sound of dishes being put away in the cabinets abused his eardrums. A very loud and very dramatic sound that had him frowning and running a hand over his face before he got up to finally talk to you about this issue.
