I wake up laying next to Daryl, he's sitting up with his hands draped over his knees. He's staring at the wall, I slowly sit up, "Daryl you need to sleep" I say. "Hmm" he grunts. I kiss his cheek and get up before walking over to my bag and getting some water. Maggie and Daryl start talking and Daryl hands Maggie her music box, Maggie walks over and wakes Sasha up before they head outside. I sit back down beside Daryl and offer him some water. He takes a sip and hands it back, "You wanna go for a walk?" I ask, he shrugs his shoulders, "Come on" I say standing up and grabbing my bow.
We walk outside and through all the broke down trees and Walkers, "Jade?" he asks, I look at him, "I miss her" he says, "So do I Daryl, we all do. And I know you got attached to her and if I could bring her back I would" I say sadly. He walks over and hugs me before crying, I hug him tightly as he cries, "Shh. It's gonna be ok. Just let it all out" I hush him. He pulls himself together and goes back to trying to be a badass. "Daryl?" I ask, he looks at me, "It's ok to be broken" I say, "I'm not broken" he lies, "Yes you are. We all are. Especially in a world like this. People like us are the ones who try so hard to survive and something's always gonna go wrong. We're gonna lose people. But as long as we stay together we'll be fine. We got this" I say and look directly into his eyes. "I love you Daryl Dixon" I say, and he kisses me.
We keep walking for a few more minutes before heading back inside. We walk back inside and they have some guy kneeling in the middle of everyone, I grip my bow, "Who is this prick?" I growl, he winces at the insult. Fucking pussy I think to myself. Rick hands me an envelope, I open it to see photos of houses and buildings, "The place is called Alexandria, it's sa-", "Did anyone tell you to talk?" Daryl cuts the guy off, " Daryl, hear him out" I say, "It's safe. We keep it running, it's well guarded and we have lots of people. We can take you in, a house of your own" he says, "Sounds too good to be true" I say. "It's not. I promise you, just give me a chance" he says. "Rick, I need to talk to you... Alone" I say and walk outside. "Watch him" Rick tells Daryl before following me outside.
