For better or worse

Hunting

  It was a ridiculously hot day in Georgia and we had been sitting in the woods for hours. Our camp was running low on food so me and my boyfriend decided to go out on a hunt. He had already killed quite a few squirrels with his old crossbow but we had run into some deer tracks and decided to see if any would pass by.
  "I think it's time to call it good Daryl, I don't think anything is coming by today", I said in a low whisper.
  "Just a few more minutes", he replied in his low raspy voice.
  I couldn't help but stare at him, he was just so damn handsome with his dark hair which was getting longer every day, his blue eyes, and nicely built arms, I was one lucky girl despite the world being ruled by the undead. A snap of a twig sent me out of my trance and I turned my head to see a doe just a few feet away from us. Daryl slowly raised his crossbow and I did the same with mine. He gave me the look he gave me every other time we went hunting together and we both shot at the same time. Both our arrows hit our target but the deer took off running.
  Daryl quickly began reloading his crossbow and I jumped up and started following the blood trail. Daryl was soon behind me and we started searching for the hopefully dead deer.
  "This will be an awesome meal back at camp, haven't had venison in ages," I said quietly.
  I looked back at Daryl who just gave me a slight smile and continued to follow the blood trail. We walked for about 100 yards until we saw the deer still standing.
  "Tough son of a bitch", Daryl grunted as he delivered one more blow to the deer.
  "It ain't going to make it far now, and it's headed back towards camp", I said a little hopeful while pushing my long brown hair out of my face.
  I turned around to look at Daryl but he was right behind me which made me jump a little. He let out a small laugh, which was always rare to get with him, and leaned down and gave a small sweet kiss on my lips. I kissed back and grabbed onto his uncovered muscular arms.
  "I love you Gracie" he said breaking the kiss.
  "I love you too Dixon."
  I smiled to him and took his large hand in mine and started following our blood trail once again. Me and Daryl had been dating for quite a while before the world went to hell. Nothin really changed for us either, we were always out in the woods, neither one of us were any good around other people, well I'm a little better then him but still. We met at a bar, some guy was tryin to get in my pants and Daryl came and punched his teeth out for me, and things progresses from there. Daryl taught me a lot about defending myself and making me stronger, I owe him so much for what he's done for me.
  "There it is" Daryl said making me wake up once again, I tend to day dream a lot.
  I could barely make out the body of the deer through the thick shit surrounding it but once we made it through me and Daryl both took a step back.
