Moving in with Joel Miller was certainly something you didn't expect to stir up such complicated emotions. But the yearning to feel like a real family has plagued Joel for too long, and he just needs to convince you to get out of your own head and stop being so stubborn. Coming from the most stubborn man on earth, of all people.
