My eyes were pinned open the second the sun came shining, but the lack of movement outside had me worried about what happened. I didn't want to leave my daughter, but I couldn't find the strength to move either. The general awareness in the death in the mind of someone living is something I've studied for years, and yet it reaks so very loud that I don't think I am in the zone to comfort anyone.
Let alone someone who has died from this.
Sighing did I leave my daughter's side, placing her ever so gently to the side as I dressed for today, changing the sweatpants to the jeans and a simple tank top. With the flannel in hand did I think hard on it.
Why suffer the heat when he knows it's me?
Removing myself from the tent did I go straight to stir the fire, and the given awaken few waved or nodded off. But Daryl was not one of them, instead of doing anything more did I bowl some water, knowing we'd need it for today.
"Goodmorning...Sleep at all?" Peering up did I settle the pot a bit better to look at Rick. "After Atlanta...think we all needed a break." He nodded, as I toyed with the stick did I look back on up from my distraction. "What about you?...The wound healing okay?" He nodded, but my question rang deeper as we've yet to discuss what happened in those given month he was asleep.
Or more importantly, what he missed with Shane and Lori.
"Have a plan for today already, burn the dead, bury the group members. Jim said we need to make sure their dead first." Nodding along did I faulted before rising up to my feet, the buzzing around soon commenced as the group up before Andrea seemed stable.
