TWD Carl And Enid

The Talk

Judith squirmed a little in my arms while Deanna set up a camera. I looked at the table beneath me and I saw a picture. The picture I could swear that the girl in the picture was Sophia. "Carl." Said Deanna snapping me back to attention. "Well?" I wasn't listening, I was too busy having an imagination. "I'm sorry. I wasn't listening. I was too busy losing my mind." Deanna chuckled. "Why would you want to stay here."
That question hit me hard. I knew why. My mom would've wanted us to live in a place like this. I couldn't say it aloud. I shrugged and looked down. My stomach was in knots. "Rick told me about your mom." Said Deanna in a sad tone. "Lauren right?" I looked at Judy and chuckled. "Lori." I said. "Her name was Lori." Thinking of this drew back so many memories like before we knew what was happening, my mom, Shane, Carol, her husband, and Sophia, all met and we figured out they were dropping napalm in the city. I don't know what that is but I know it's like an explosive. "This is the kind of place my mom wanted for us." I said looking at Deanna. "I'm sorry you lost her." I looked out the window and saw dad and Glenn looking at me. I smiled and then looked back at Deanna. "I didn't just lose her." I said. "I killed her. It had to be me." Deanna took a deep breath. "Thank you for your time Carl." I nodded and picked up Judith. I looked around at this place one more time. I think I wanna stay here. It seems nice. Then we walked out the door.
Dad looked at me and hugged me. "I'm sorry." He said. "I heard the whole thing. You shouldn't have to talk about mom." I hugged him back. "It's a part of getting stronger.
