Note: The song for this chapter is "Falling in Love in a coffee shop" by Landon Pigg
The next morning, Carol, Daryl and Jesus sat around the kitchen table talking.
"Rick came by late last night." Carol began "I uh, told him you were busy.."
She shifted somewhat awkwardly.
Daryl felt his face heat up, and Jesus smirked.
"Mmm... that's one way to put it. What did Rick want?" Jesus asked.
He grabbed Daryl's hand under the table, and intertwined their fingers.
Daryl still wasn't completely comfortable with everything, and tensed.
Jesus frowned at him, but didn't move his hand away.
"He wanted to see if you two would meet him for dinner tomorrow night. He said he had some things to talk about."
Carol shrugged.
"He didn't say what he wanted to talk about, though."
Daryl frowned, hoping it wouldn't be about anything bad.
"I need to go back to the Kingdom. I told Ezekiel I would give him an answer to his marriage proposal when I came back. He's probably wondering where I am."
Daryl's frown deepened. He didn't want Carol to leave.
Jesus gave his hand a squeeze, and he tried not to sigh.
"We'll miss you." He said quietly.
Carol smiled slightly.
"I'll make sure to visit as often as I can." She promised.
*******
Daryl and Jesus were getting ready to go to Ricks house for dinner.
An hour before they had to go, Daryl threw on an ratty old t-shirt, and Jesus eyed him with a look of disgust.
"Oh no. You are not wearing that to dinner. Go shower. I'm going to pick out your outfit."
Daryl stared at Jesus, an annoyed look on his face.
"Like hell you are." He muttered. "I look fine."
Jesus threw up his hands in exasperation.
"At LEAST take a shower."
Daryl shook his head.
"Waste of water." He grumbled.
Jesus sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Daryl, showering 3 times a day is a waste of water. Showering once a week is not."
Daryl rolled his eyes, but he eventually gave in.
When he was done showering, he noted that Jesus had laid out a nice shirt for him, much to his annoyance.
