You had lived next to Joel for quite some time, you helped him out with Sarah from time to time, you watched Sarah grow up, you saw women come and go. You were there for almost everything.

You and Joel had friendly conversations every morning, and you both genuinely enjoyed each other’s company.

It started out just like any other morning, Joel sitting on his porch drinking coffee, a small smile on his face as he noticed that you had also decided to enjoy the morning.
