"The human body's response to love are pupil dilatation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate. This is the same response that the body gives off when experiencing deep fear."

We had started walking on the train tracks with Rick in front of me, Carl and Michonne trailing behind.

"I think we got about a day's worth of water left. We're lucky it's cooled off a little bit, but--What are you doing?" Rick interrupted himself, looking behind him.

I followed his gaze to see Carl and Michonne balancing on each side of the tracks, Carl carrying a focused look on his face.

"Winning a bet," Carl spoke up, causing me to stop and smile.

"In your dreams," Michonne jokingly taunted.

"I'm still on," Carl defended, jinxing himself and almost falling off.

"You spoke too soon, wise guy," Michonne laughed.

"Sky, knock Michonne off! Help me win," Carl enthusiastically spoke.

I shook my head and looked at Michonne.

"Girls stick together," I smiled.

"This might go on a while. Maybe we can speed this up," Rick suggested.

"Yeah, you're right. Shouldn't be fooling around. We should probably-- Carl!" Michonne tried to scare Carl, resulting in losing her balance and not winning the bet.

"C'mon Michonne; I was rooting for you!" I shook my head in defeat.

"Hey!" Carl yelled and put his hand to his chest in fake hurt.

"I win. Pay up," he ordered and stuck out his hand, waiting for his prize.

"Is that the last Big Cat?" He whined as Michonne displayed the two candy bars.

He wiggled his fingers around and finally chose the big cat.

"Oh, come on," Michonne whined.

"Hey, but you said winner's choice," Carl defended.

"Go ahead, take it. It's yours. You won it fair and square," Michonne sighed, tossing the candy to Carl.

He broke it in half and handed a piece to Michonne.

"Come on, we always share," Carl insisted.
