I stared for a second, trying to process what was happening. Rick Grimes; the man who found me, saved my life, and took me in is now asking me to be his wife. It's only been about four months but I feel like the time is perfect. Rick looked at me with worried eyes since I still hadn't answered. I looked him in the eyes. "I would love to be the new Mrs. Grimes." I said happily. Rick smiled. I ripped the ring out of the box and put it on. Much to my surprise it fit perfectly. I gazed at it in amazement and then pulled Rick's face into mine. I kissed him so hard and shoved my tongue into his mouth. "Hershel can do a proper ceremony tomorrow if you want. Just for fun. It's already official." he winked at me. "I'd like that." I said staring at my new ring. I was so in love with it.
I couldn't believe he was asking me to be his wife. It was like a dream come true. Yeah, he's way older than me, but that stuff doesn't matter anymore. And if we can keep a stable place for a while we might even be able to start a family. That's a small possibility though. The timing would have to be right. "I'm so happy with you Rick." I said snuggling close to him. He kissed my head. "I'm happy with you too babe."
Just then we heard a crash downstairs. Rick jumped out of bed. "Stay here" he commanded. "No way" I whispered. "What if there's more than one? I'm going with you" I insisted. No way was I letting him go alone. I grabbed the sword under my bed and Rick had his gun. We quietly went down the steps to see a woman standing in the kitchen with her back turned to us. I was thankful it was only one person and she didn't look like a threat.
We were almost to the bottom of the steps when Rick hit a creak on one of the stairs. The woman quickly spun around with her weapon ready. Rick's gun was pointed straight at her when suddenly he lowered it. He went to the bottom of the steps and stared.
"Lori?"
