Summary
“Looks good,” It comes out rough. Joel’s chin tipping towards your nest of pillows, “You wanna test it out?”
His words register in your mind a split second before his. A little laugh slipping from you, just as his back straightens - a hint of pink blooming across his ears.
“Christ. I meant-”
“You offering, Joel?”
(or - your neighbor Joel helps you put together your new bed)

Summary
Joel couldn’t say the real reason he needed Sarah to stay home that night. You were in a fucking sundress with a ribbon in your hair. A goddamn ribbon. And you’d been cooking, the whole house smelled like heaven and you were in a fucking sundress with a goddamn ribbon in your hair and now he was going to be home alone with you all night.
Not that anything was going to happen. Nothing was going to happen. Not a damn thing.***
You're a college student in Austin, Texas, who gets a summer job nannying Sarah Miller. It's not long before her dad sees you as more than a babysitter - or more than a friend. But life - and an apocalypse - have other plans.

Summary
Maria doesn’t often show up unannounced on Joel’s porch, so when she does, Joel knows it’s about something serious.
“Is that Maria?” Ellie asks incredulously from the kitchen, having seen their unexpected guest through the window even as Joel goes to open the door for his sister-in-law.
Even before she opens her mouth, he knows the news is bad; her face is paler than he’s ever seen it, her jaw tight as she deliberately doesn’t meet his eyes.
“Your girl’s in the hospital,” she says, and his heart stutters to a stop in his chest. “Tommy’s with her.”
[In which Reader gets hurt, Joel does not react well, and not everything is smooth sailing after a happily ever after. Sequel to Cinnamon and Honey, but can be read without if you don't mind no context for Reader.]
