It had been a few weeks since I was last wrapped up into Rick's arms in the barn. My husband was back from the dead, and not as a walker. Rick made it clear he wanted nothing else to do with me. He said I should focus on my family.... but he was my family. We barely spoke. He barely looked my way. My heart was crushed. I hadn't felt like eating much. The thought of everything made me nauseas. I couldn't be with Rick and it was tearing me apart.

After a long nights rest, Jared, Sage, and I walk down the steps of the front porch. The guys and I were going to walk the property and make sure that everything was holding up. Jared grabbed mt waist and pulled me in. He kissed me before whispering something quirky in my ear and making me laugh. Although, it was a fake a laugh. I wondered if I would ever be truly happy again.

Rick's POV

I watched as he pulled her in and kissed her. She laughed and looked happy. I wanted to kill him.... for taking her away from me. I wouldn't actually kill him, but I wanted to. I still loved her, but giving her the cold shoulder was my only option. I owed that to Sage. Sage deserves for her parents to be the together and I didn't want to come in the way of that, no matter how much it killed me.

"Dude, you're staring." Riley says to Rick.

I don't take my eyes off of them. "Yeah, I know."

"She's not really happy. Don't let her fool you. Her marriage was in shambles before the world fell. I don't like Jared. I never have. I never will. Something about him just seems..... off." Riley says.

"She never told me that." I say.

"And she wouldn't. After she got taken by that serial killer, they weren't ever the same. She still loves you, man. If you really care about her, fight for her." Riley says. "I actually do like you."

Rick grins. "But what about Sage? I can't just break her parents up."

"Rick, they were already torn apart before you came along. Plus, I've seen you with Sage. If you keep giving Luna the cold shoulder, you'll loose her, for good." Riley says, patting me on the back before walking away.

I walk towards the rest of the group. Daryl, Glenn, T-Dog, Dale, Carol, Andrea, and Luna meet by the tree. I join them.

Luna's POV

I watched as he walked my way. When he joined the group, I smiled at him. He actually smiled back. The cold shoulder was gone. I sighed in relief.

"We need to check the property, make sure no entrance is compromised." Rick says.

"Why? We do this all the time." Andrea says.

"I know. It's just a precaution." Rick says. "Luna, and Daryl, you're with me. Dale and Andrea, go along the south side of the property. Glenn and T-Dog, go to the north side of the property. We will handle the east and west side."
