Three months had passed since their last interaction with The Governor. Lori had gracefully joined the group, where everyone welcomed her with open arms. Mostly everyone

Sabrina kept a respectful distance from Shane,  Lori and Judith. She felt like she didn't need to be involved in their relationship. No matter the circumstance.

During the three month span, the group had welcomed a handful of new members.

Over the last three months, Sabrina was overwhelming herself with a heavy to-do list. She had infiltrated a new way of getting clean water, hanging meat to dry so they had jerky, building their supply of food, was attempting to fix up an old car and even got the AC working.

Currently, Sabrina was behind the prison, setting up solar panels. Their original generator was running out of fuel, and she just wanted to keep the prison running.
While Sabrina was working, she heard soft footsteps approach her

"Hi." Lori said, "I brought you some lunch."

Sabrina looked over at Lori, her eyes dark and empty, "Thanks. You can just set it over there." She said curtly, turning her attention back to the panels

Lori looked at Sabrina, admiring her long brown hair that was held back by a bandana. She looked at Sabrina's overalls, which she wore only a sports bra underneath, revealing her toned physique. Lori exhaled deeply, "Maggie told me what you did."

"I do a lot of things." Sabrina said

"Maggie told me you went on a run and raided an overrun building to get Judith more formula." Lori said

Sabrina inhaled deeply, "kids gotta eat."

"You risked yourself for a child you won't even acknowledge." Lori said softly, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." Sabrina said, quietly

"I'm sorry Shane came between us." Lori said

"Please leave." Sabrina said suddenly

"I'm serious, but I mean - in all fairness - i had him first." Lori replied, "You took him from me."

Sabrina laughed under her breath, finally turning to face Lori, "You have a husband in there. Rick? Rick is a better man than any person left alive. Hell, he's probably a better man than most people were four years ago!" She finally snapped

"You didn't know him before all this. You didn't see the things I saw." Lori replied

"And what did you see?" Sabrina asked

"The long hours, the grueling shifts. H-He was so overwhelmed with work he had no time for his family. Do you know how humiliating it is to feel so lonely even though you're married?" Lori asked

"Sounded like yall both needed each other but neither of you were willing to step up." Sabrina replied

Lori scoffed, rolling her eyes, "Whatever. Thanks for the formula." She sneered, walking back towards the prison

Sabrina continued working on the panels, sighing quietly as she finally finished up. She picked up her untouched plate of food, walking over to the main area in the courtyard. Sabrina raised her eyebrows as she watched Daryl escort a group of young women into the prison, a crowd of people watching

"Sanchez!" Glenn called

Sabrina sighed, handing her plate to Carl

"I already ate!" Carl replied

"Eat again." Sabrina said, walking over to Glenn

"Group of people we brought in said there's a gang of guys hanging nearby. They killed the girls dad and tried to rape them. Some walkers came and bought the girls enough time to escape. Daryl found them." Glenn said
