It was another sunny day, the centre was buzzing with the community; children playing on swing sets, couples wandering around holding hands as if the world wasn't in shambles a few months ago, families reconnecting.. everyone was out enjoying the day.
Connie and Kelly wander the streets, the older one scribbling frantically in her journal as she reports the day whilst the younger one takes photos with the camera her sisters not-boyfriend-but-boyfriend brought back to her.
Smile! Kelly signs to Connie, her sister laughs as she smiles for the camera, the shutter clicks and Kelly checks the photo, her face growing amused, some prick photo bombed.
Connie raises an eye brow and signs, who? Kelly turns the camera and stood a little way behind Connie is the rugged archer who definitely isn't in love with her.
Connie rolls her eyes, turning around to look at Daryl, he smirks and removes the distance between her, Dog is circling around on the grass chasing after his tail before he rushes over to Connie.
Hey con. Daryl signs, "Kelly." He speaks, "what are you two up to?"
Connie smiles, walking around, writing an article. What about you? She signs to him, petting dog as he jumps up at her, he's nearly the same size as her. Daryl's sign language has improved massively, he's understanding more and more everyday and Connie adores it.
"Walking dog." Daryl replies, "how's the camera Kelly?" He asks, looking at her.
"It's amazing! I can't believe you found it in such good condition too!" Kelly smiles, "you want a pic?"
"Eh. I'm not the picture type Kel." He chuckles, looking down at Connie who's been reading his lips, unimpressed by his response, "what?"
Smile for the damn photo. Connie signs, Daryl lets out a laugh and makes an effort to smile for the photo. Kelly snaps the photo of Daryl (and Connie) before checking it. She turns to show Daryl it.
He stares at it for a while before Kelly clicks in his face, "hellooo? Do you like it?"
"Yeh. the qu'lity is great." He smiles.
You joining us for a walk? Connie asks, looking up at him with those hopeful, beautiful eyes, or are you being a cowboy?
Daryl smiles, nah, I'm not workin, I did want to talk with you tho. He signs to her, then turns to Kelly, "privately?"
Kelly smiles before nodding and rushing off, "I'll be with Magna!" She rushes ahead to sit with Magna at the fountain.
Connie looks at him concerned, trying to depict what he's saying by the look on his face.
"Do ya wan'ta go to woods for some lunch?" He signs, his pale face increasingly becoming the slightest shade of pink.
Connie looks at him, suprised but impressed, this was perfect to tease, a date? she smirks as she signs this.
"I guess ya cud call it that." He smiles, "so?"
You bring the food, I'll get the coffees. Connie smiles, see you in the woods! she blows him a sarcastic kiss as she goes to meet Kelly again.
Carol walks out from the stalls of the market, "so?" Daryl's red face was enough of an answer for her, "I'll get the food." She pats his back before heading back to her house.
Dog circles around Daryl barking away as if he knew what was going on, "cmon."

Daryl waits at the gates for Connie, Judith and RJ wait at the control panel at the top ready to let them in and out.
