"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" Sabrina shouted angrily

"It makes sense!" Rick snapped, "We go around the route he wants us to take! We leave at night! We've played this game your way so far and it's worked out. But we can't keep hoping that this is real!"

"Look at all this food, Rick! We have a win! Accept it!" Sabrina said

"No! No. We cannot trust him." Rick shouted

Sabrina grit her teeth, walking over to Aaron. She used her knife, picking the locks on his handcuffs

Aaron stayed on the ground, giving Sabrina a look of gratitude. He opted not to move, in fear of reprisal from Rick

Rick stared down at Sabrina, "Your recklessness is gonna get us killed!"

"My recklessness is the reason your wife's daughter has a full belly!" Sabrina shouted

"Enough!" Glenn interrupted, "Enough! We'll just go with Rick's plan. It's not a good one, but he hasn't steered us wrong thus far along."

"Hello! If it was up to him, Aaron would be dead and we wouldn't have any food." Sasha added

"Thank you!" Sabrina said, angrily, "Whatever, Rick. We'll do your plan. Anything that goes wrong, is on you." Sabrina added, walking out of the barn. She sat down on a fallen tree, rubbing her face, frustrated with Ricks behavior.

Opting to wait a few minutes, Daryl loitered in the back of the barn, playing with a can of fruit before he mustered up the courage to walk out. He walked over to Sabrina, sitting on the log beside her

"I don't wanna hear it." Sabrina said, softly

"Ain't nobody got anythin' to say." Daryl muttered

Sabrina nodded, appreciating his silence. She rested her head on his shoulder, inhaling deeply as she stared at the woods

"It's gone be alright, Sanchez. We made it this far. If we get ambushed, it was a fun ride." Daryl joked

Sabrina looked up at him in disbelief

"Not funny?" Daryl asked

"Not in the slightest." Sabrina admitted

Daryl chuckled as he rested his chin on the top of her head, "I got a good feeling about whatever's coming, Sanchez." He said, vaguely

"Impending doom and lots of arguments." Sabrina said

Daryl smiled as he handed Sabrina a can of halved pears

"Will you whittle the can open with your knife?" Sabrina asked

"Sure." Daryl laughed, opening the container. He handed it to Sabrina, sighing softly as he looked at the sky

"Sunsets beautiful." Sabrina said

"Might be our last."

"Shut up, Daryl."

Daryl chuckled as he stood up, "Try and relax, Sanchez." He said, walking back to the barn

Sabrina exhaled deeply as she rubbed her face in frustration, unsure of what to do. She stared at the sunset, watching as Hershel came and sat by her. She stayed quiet, knowing he was just another hallucination. Sabrina turned her head to the side, squeezing her eyes shut

"You know he's just trying to protect you." Hershel said, "After the last few days yall have had, he's bound to be more protective."

"Probably doesn't help my case that I'm hallucinating." Sabrina said
