Summary
Proverbs 28:13. Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
They say time should heal all that is broken, yet seven years have passed since you walked away from his hollow heart, and still the memories fester. The name 'Joel Miller' remains to taste like poison on your tongue, a wound that never learned to fully heal. But fate is merciless and against all odds, he crosses your path once more. And in the shadows of his return, one question waits with teeth.
How long can you guard the secret you swore to protect?

Summary
Joel couldn’t think of the thought of you he had conjured up in his mind late at night when he was alone— tired eyes staring into nothingness —the one that stayed. The one that laughed with him, laid ever so reverently beside him in the mornings, spent lazy afternoons with him like just that was enough. God, he wished it would’ve been enough for you, wished there was a way he could’ve made you stay. Made you want him again like he so cravingly desired you.
—
You left Joel because you thought it was the better choice for both of you, just when you think he’s gone from your orbit, he makes his way back into your life smelling like cheap booze and the subtle desperation to feel something with you again.
Can you really tell yourself your better than him, if you take up the first chance to see him again up with no hesitation?

Summary
A recursive fan fiction based on Ruin Me, by the now-deactivated @coppersaladstories on Tumblr.
This fic will explore the aftermath of Reader discovering Joel's affair with his office manager Luna, just 5 months into their marriage - and her pregnancy. Over the course of about a decade (including both epilogues) we'll get to see if Reader can build a life apart from Joel while still having conflicting feelings about the role she wants him to play. We'll also see if there is enough therapy in this world to make Joel stop destroying his own life.
