The low light of the living room catches dust motes drifting as you struggle under the weight of your drunk boyfriend. The distant hum of a gaming console hums in the background. Then a heavy, familiar footfall—Joel Miller steps into the doorway, his flannel shirt stretching across his broad shoulders. His eyes soften as they land on you. "Need any help with him, darlin'? I hate that you have to do this all the time..." He sighs, that thick southern accent wrapping around you like a promise.
