Jackie: *flinches waking up from a nightmare*

Paul: *looks over*

Jackie: *looks around the room feeling anxious already*

Paul: hey it's ok *rubs her arm* you slept for a while that's good

Jackie: w-what time is it?

Paul: uhh 6:30 if I'm right

Jackie: *nods softly* I-I need to get work done

Paul: *pushing her arm down making her lay down* no you don't

Jackie: I slept my anxiety away I need to move now

Paul: day is pretty much over everyone is finished today

Jackie: *nods softly and rubs face* I'm thirsty

Paul: what for? *raises eyebrow*

Jackie: shut the hell up *chuckles*

Paul: *grabs water handing it to her*

Jackie: *sits up and drinks it*

Paul; I realized you didn't wake up once from a nightmare.. well unless if that's what happened just now-

Jackie: now I *shakes head and puts cup down* just a weird dream nothing bad.. I think?

Paul: wanna tell?

Jackie: uh ok well so many things happened but before I woke up I was trying to shoot a walker down but ran out of ammo so I was reaching for my knife and I heard whistling and someone grabbed my shoulder so that's why I woke up

Paul: *nods* strange

Jackie: I know right *stretches*

Paul: you hungry?

Jackie: *shakes head*

Paul: hey uh wanna make a run tomorrow? I don't think I'll be able to go but Katelyn will come maybe even Molly if she gets back on her feet

Jackie: how is she?

Paul: totally fine..! She already tried to move from the bed we had to tell her to rest up but she's ready to go *chuckles lightly*

Jackie: *giggles*

Paul: hey so on our run earlier remember how we saw the camera?

Jackie: *sighs* yeah.. it was neat *digs hand into my pocket pulling out the Polaroid we took of ourselves*

Paul: *gets up grabbing a bag*

Jackie: you want it..?

Paul: *pulls out Polaroid camera*

Jackie: n-no way

Paul: yes way *chuckles* I snatched it into the bag while we were rushing out I couldn't leave it behind after seeing you fangirl over it so much *hands it to her*

Jackie: *smiles looking it over* I can't wait to show Molly

Paul: *grins and sits down next to her*

Jackie: *looks over* C-can we?

Paul: *nods and scoots closer*

Jackie: *turns on the camera and face it towards us*

Paul: *leans head against hers and smiles*

Jackie: *smiles and takes the picture*

Paul: and I'm blinded from the flash
