ALEXANDRIA
Ian sits up in bed running his hands across his face. He looks behind him at Annabelle sleeping in bed. She flips over on her side while Ian stands up, he opens the drawer of the night stand and pulls out a ring, he stuffs it in his pants pocket.
He leans over her and kisses her gently on the shoulder. He walks out of the bedroom gently closing the door and walks down the hallway slowly walking inside Judith's room where she's sleeping and kisses his niece on the cheek.
He walks down the hallway peeking his head inside Jenna's bedroom finding her sleeping peacefully.
He makes his way down the stairs placing his hand over Carl's handprint that's now hanging on the wall.
He opens the door and leaves the house.
Vivian is walking through the gardens leaning down and picks up a string pea, taking a bite out of it. She kneels down gently caressing a tomato on the plant.
A shot of her kneeling down placing the tomato on Carl's grave and kisses the small pile of rocks that's lays on top of her brother's grave.
She wipes away the tears from her eyes, standing up and walks away.
ELSEWHERE
Annabelle is sitting up in bed with papers strolled out all around the bed when Ian opens the door and enters.
Ian: How'd you sleep?
Annabelle: My mind won't shut off.
Ian sits down on the edge of the bed
Annabelle: You?
Ian: Eh, not bad.
He takes off his shoes placing them beside the bed and turns around
Ian: You and Michonne are gonna have this charter thing done by supper.
Annabelle tilts her head giving him a amused look
Annabelle: Yeah. No
Ian: Oh it's good you're helping leading this place
Annabelle: Thank you
Ian: We've been at the bridge. Here. It's you and Michonne. Keeping this place safe and sound, figuring out how to make it better.
Annabelle: Speaking of.........Judith has a cough.
Ian: Yeah I already checked. I'm sure Rick has too. No fever so probably just the cough.
Annabelle: We should take her to Siddiq just in case.
Ian: Rick's already said they were gonna. He did have to promise a family fun day just to get her to step foot in there.
Annabelle: Aren't you headed back right away?
Ian: I'm sure I can be tempted to take the day. Last report, Things were good. Maggie will be there soon, thanks to Shaun, the only person besides Lyla who can actually get through to her. They can hold down the fort for a while. Right?
Annabelle: It's just Maggie is trying, I know she is. But she's still angry and she looks to that crazy ass Bea for advice.
Ian: I know. Daryl's already said how much he doesn't like her.
Annabelle: He's angry too
Ian: Yeah but Brian can keep him in line. You want me to go?
Annabelle: I want it to work.
Ian: It will and when things are good, me and Rick will make full on our promise and step down. Let Viv take over and then I'm all yours. Even if everyone isn't there yet, they'll get there. Just like we did.
