Winter was beginning to be a harsh memory as spring began to show the beauty in growth. Currently, the group was taking a break inside a clothing store, to regroup and replenish.

Sabrina was in the back of the store, sitting on a box as she stared at the brown jacket in her hands. Her mind was stuck on a loop of Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh. Sabrina sighed, standing up slowly to join the group. As she went to take a step forward, she felt a pair of large warm hands grasp her waist

"You lookin' for me?" Rick mumbled in her ear

Sabrina chewed on the insides of her cheek, "I was, yeah." She admitted

Rick gave her hip a soft squeeze before he dug his blunt fingertips into the denim, turning her to face him

Sabrina let Rick manipulate her movements, swallowing hard, "I found you something." She said, handing Rick a brown jacket with sherpa lining

Rick let go of Sabrina's hips, a small smirk forming on the side of his face, "You thinkin' of me, Sabrina?" He asked, putting emphasis on her first name

Sabrina shrugged, "I might be." She offered

Rick laughed as he slid the jacket on, "Fits like a glove." He said, rubbing the sherpa lining, "Thank you." He said, "How can I ever repay you?" He taunted

Sabrina felt the heat rise to her cheek as she felt a knot in her stomach, "Consider it a gift from one friend to another." She said, "I gotta go find Shane."

"Already here." Shane said, emerging from down the aisle, making his way to Sabrina. He smiled softly as he kissed her delicately, "You ready?" He asked, patting her butt playfully, "Ares is waiting for you." He joked, nodding at the dog who was at the front of the store

Rick grit his teeth, his eyes landing on Shane's hands

"Born ready." Sabrina smiled, warmly, "Let's go." She said, walking towards the exit with Shane, "C'mere, Ares." She cooed, patting her thigh so the dog could trail behind her

"Spring is around the corner." Hershel noted, walking out of the store

"About time." Sabrina said, slinging her bag over her shoulder as she walked towards the car. She bent over, picking up the dog

Hershel opened the passengers side door for Sabrina, smiling warmly

"Thank you." Sabrina grinned as she climbed inside the car. She glanced over at the drivers seat, where Shane was settling in, "You okay?" She asked

"Yeah." Shane sighed, rubbing Sabrina's thigh, soothingly before he pet the dog

"You're looking a bit scruffy." Sabrina noted, tugging on his beard

"What's this i'm hearing?" Shane laughed, turning to face her, "I thought you liked it."

"It's itchy." Sabrina laughed as she stroked his long hair

"Once I find a decent barber, I'll trim it for you." Shane grinned, leaning over and kissing her lovingly

Hershel sat in the backseat, a small smile on his face, "You guys sound like my wife and I." He chuckled, "Always telling me to shave or to cut my hair."
