Summary
After leaving the Fireflies, you ended up in the settlement of Jackson with Tommy, unwilling to part with the only friend you had left. You were even able to carve somewhat of a life out for yourself after a few years.
Until Tommy's older brother shows up. You think Joel Miller is gruff and rude, and you're pretty sure he doesn't have a fond opinion of you either. That doesn't stop the attraction you feel for each other, but he's gone in a day. You settle back into a routine, thinking you'll never see him again.
Then Joel returns a few months later, and screws up everything about the comfortable life you had established in Jackson.

Summary
Joel meets you one night before the outbreak, a perky bartender warmed from the sunshine out West. You almost get the both of you killed. Twenty years and one life-changing cross-country adventure later, you turn up in Jackson out of the blue.
He wants answers. You want revenge. He's unforgivable. You're inexplicable. Neither of you gets exactly what you want, and yet you still end up with much more than what either of you could have ever bargained for.
Chapter 22: Pan American
No one has ever been this direct with you. No one has ever been this unflinchingly, vehemently sworn to you. This certain of you. This devoted. Your words fall off a cliff. You’re left suspended in your own stunned silence. You’re dangerously close to fainting.
Joel steps forward and kisses you. It’s full and steadfast. Like the seal of a promise. You stand, legs nearly giving out, kissing him back. Like you’re signing your name next to his in black ink.
