The younger boy shook his head, "Nah. She never let me. Said that no one can listen to it until she was gone."
Carl walked away, Rick quickly following, and Daryl slipped the headphones back on and hit play,
"I'm gonna tell y'all a story. Well, kind of becauseit's a true event. More like an adventure, like The Hobbit or somethin'. I'm gonna tell you about my life in the apocalypse."
