Brynn dropped out of the cab in front their shared Pensacola home, she sighed when she realized Joe's car wasn't in the driveway or garage, meaning she got here before him

She walked up the few steps and unlocked the door, stepping in and taking a deep breath

She looked around the house and smiled lightly, this was home. She sat down on the couch and looked at the picture on the coffee table, she picked it up and held it in her hands, smiling at it. She traced her fingers over Joe's face in the picture and then she traced where his lips met hers. This was one of her favourite pictures of them

She didn't know what she was gonna say to Joe when he arrived but she was going to fix it

She didn't know what she was gonna say to Joe when he arrived but she was going to fix it. She was still staring at the picture when she heard the familiar roar of the engine and she realized Joe was home

She took a deep breath and put down the picture before she stood up and wiped her clammy palms on her black jeans

She waited until she heard the keys in the door and then she mustered up the strongest smile she could

Joe walked in, eyes? red, under-eyes? swollen, cheeks? tearstained and heart? broken. He sniffled as he walked in the door and turned around closing, and locking it

When he turned back around, he made two steps and froze. Standing in front of him was the love of his life

"Brynn," he said in shock as his mouth dropped slightly

"Hi love," she said with a sheepish smile and Joe shook his head

"I'm pathetic." He said huffing a bitter laugh

"I'm so heartbroken I'm actually hallucinating, god I'm a loser." He said, forced smile on his face

Brynn frowned and walked closer to him and his eyes widened as her hands raised and cupped his cheeks

"You're not. I'm really here." She said, smiling softly at him

Joe's hands were shaky as they wrapped around her wrists and his mouth opened and closed a few times before the tears filled his eyes again and he squeezed her against his body, so close that they could feel each other's heartbeat. Brynn wrapped her hand in his ponytail and pressed a kiss to his neck

"I-I, She lied Brynn. She was lying about everything, I didn't believe her for a second, I lost you and I'm so sorry, I just want you, no one else, please forgive m-" he rushed out but was soon cut off as her lips pressed against his

She felt all the tension leave his body and he breathed out against her and then he began kissing back

"JOJO accidentally called me. I heard the whole conversation." She admitted and Joe just stared at her

"I don't have to forgive you Joe, none of this was your fault. I should have listened to what you had to say and I'm sorry," she apologized

"You don't need to apologize babe," Joe said, pressing a kiss to her forehead

"But it really hurts how little you trust me." He said, his forehead creasing and she sighed

"I trust you Joe. I trust you with my life. That's the truth but, when you're with Galina, I'll admit I get insecure, not because I don't trust you. But because I don't trust her, and now you see why," she explained

Joe rubbed a soothing hand up and down her arm before he smiled

"You don't have to worry, I love you and there's no doubt in my mind I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He said and Brynn smiled and hugged him

"I love you," she said, grinning when he buried his face into her neck, that was the one of the cutest thing he does

"I love you more," he replied and she kissed his temple

"I missed you so much," he breathed

"It's been a week," she replied

"Two hours without you makes me anxious, let alone a week," he replied

"I'll help you unpack," he said before kissing her again

As Joe's hand wrapped around her waist and hers were around his neck, their bodies pressed together and lips joined, Brynn knew she lied before because the house was not home. The man in front of her was her home.
