"I've done things," Charlie said, looking up into his eyes full of disappointment. "Things that I am not proud of. But everything I've done, I've done to survive...And I did. I survived."
"And are you happy?" Daryl asked, using all his power to stop...

A loud bang was heard in the air. Charlie's hand almost automatically went to grab Daryl's forearm as he was the closest to her. He looked down at her with furrowed eyebrows."It's okay, it's nothing."
She nodded her head, letting out the breath she was holding and Daryl's arm, so she could look back a Lori, who was turning her head in searching for something. When Daryl felt a lack of her presence, he also stopped and looked behind his back. "We have to move. It's getting dark."
So they did. But Charlie was checking up on Lori from time to time, just to see if they had another worried mother on the board and if she was still with them. When Andrea saw what Charlie was doing, she looked over at Lori."Are you still worrying about it?"
The question made everyone stop.
"That was a gunshot," Lori replied.
Dixon looked around to see if a real threat wasn't approaching them. "We all heard it."
"Why one? Why just one gunshot?"
"Maybe they took down a Walker." Charlie shrugged, trying to be compassionate.
"Please don't patronize me," Lori replied angrily. "You know Rick wouldn't risk a gunshot to put down one Walker. Or Shane. They'd do it quietly."
"Shouldn't they have caught up with us by now?" Carol asked, adding fuel to the fire with this question.
"There's nothing we can do about it anyway," Daryl answered, annoyed. "Can't run around these woods chasing echoes."
"So what do we do?" Charlie asked.
"Same as we've been," said Dixon. "Beat the bush for Sophia, work our way back to the highway."
"I'm sure they'll hook up with us back at the RV," said Andrea, but before moving forward she turned towards Carol. "I'm sorry for what you're going through. I know how you feel."
Charlie was looking at it with one brow raised up. She didn't know why, but the whole act wasn't knocking on her doors. Andrea was trying to be everywhere and that was getting annoying. Because now she might have felt remorse about yesterday and not showing Carol support on the highway. But Charlie knew that it was temporary, in a moment she would do something that would bring them to the point zero.
"I suppose you do. Thank you." Carol gave her pale smile. "The thought of her out here by herself...It's the not knowing that's killing me. I just keep hoping and praying she doesn't wind up like Amy." she cried but then opened her eyes wider as Andrea's face fell. "Oh, God. That's the worst thing I ever said."
"We're all hoping and praying with you, for what it's worth." she squeezed Carol's arm.
Charlie heard the huff next to her and right after that, Daryl was moving towards two women
