PAIGE'S P.O.V

I walked into Carl's cell. He was sitting on far back corner of his bed, his knees huddled to his chest. I scooted on the mattress, sitting beside him.

He didn't look at me, just stared at the sheets. "Carl...I missed you..." I said, wrapping my arms around him.

He huddled his chin into my elbow, just kept staring.

"I've changed, you know...the whole experience changed me..." He muttered.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled. "For the better?" I asked.

"For the best..." He replied while kissing my cheek, softly, then laying down, closing his eyes, and drifting off to sleep.

RICK'S P.O.V

My eyes slowly flickered open as a noise quietly surrounded me. Muffled sobs. I ran my hand through my hair, standing up in the darkness.

I found my way to the outside of my cell, grasping the cold metal handrail. The sobs gradually became louder as I found myself in front of another cell.

I walked into the dark room, the sound right in front of me. I squatted beside it, stroking what it was. I touched hair. It was about shoulder length.

"Maggie?" I asked.

She sniffled,"Yeah..."

"Are you crying..?"

"Yeah..." She sniffled again.

"Do you want me to-" I was about to ask, but she answered me quickly. She yanked me up beside of her, and cried into the crook of my neck.

I held her close, rubbing her hair.

"It's gonna be fine...I'm here..." I whispered.

"Thank you..." She said, quietly.

Her breathing grew steady, her tears drying on my plain gray t-shirt.

Her arm was wrapped around me, not wanting to let go.
