    VERONÍCA GLANCED towards the woods as Rick and Glenn investigated the car. The trio had briefly stopped due to the car and tree in the road, while Veroníca didn't feel like checking it. Glenn did.

When a walker fell out of the car, Veroníca watched in shock as Glenn stomped the creature's head in.

Rick watched as well, not seeming as shocked. After all he knew the man was angry, just like he was when Lori died. So as he continued stomping in the walker's head, Rick didn't stop him.

Veroníca didn't seem to catch the hint, seeing as she eventually walked over.

She then softly pulled Glenn away from the bloody walker, her hands remaining on his shoulders. "You're gonna hurt yourself, miel."

Glenn sighed, clutching his bruised stomach as Veroníca released his shoulders from her grip.

As soon as he did, Rick made his was in front of the man. He only stood for a second before Glenn spoke to him. "You didn't kill him."

"That's not why we went back."

"No, that's right. You went back for Daryl. Now he's
gone again, and the Governor is still alive." Glenn argued, not noticing as Veroníca took a step back from the duo.

"Daryl was the priority."

"I should have been there with you!"

"Glenn, you're still hurt." Veroníca mumbled, earning a head shake from Glenn as Rick agreed. "She's right, you're in no condition."

"It doesn't matter!"

"You didn't come back with us 'cause you could barely walk!" Rick yelled, using his hands to help him explain as he did so.

"What about Veroníca!" Glenn's question confused Veroníca. She hadn't gone with Rick so she couldn't see why Glenn was so mad. Yet when he continued yelling, she couldn't help but feel angry as well. Not at Rick but at Glenn. "Do you know what he did to her?!"

Veroníca shook her head in a fast motion as she felt Rick's eyes turn to her. Though she wasn't looking at either of the men, she could feel Rick's pity filled stare and she hated it.

"After all that effort. All that risk we took. Daryl just takes off with Merle?" Glenn asks, changing the topic.

"He had his reasons." Rick reassured.

While Veroníca normally would pitch in her two cents, the feeling of embarrassment still lingered over her. So she figured it'd be better if she waited in the car.

So that's what she did, she ignored Glenn's hand that tried to subtly get her to stay and made her way back to the car.

Veroníca hopped into the backseat, immediately leaning her head on her brother's shoulder as the man sat in between her and Michonne.

There was an awkward silence that lingered the air, which ended in Veroníca speaking up. "What'd you guys go back for?"

Michonne didn't reply, which wasn't a shock. "We beat his ass." Aiden answered, a smirk coming over his face as he remembered the fight.
