AFTER ALL THIS TIME SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD'VE gotten used to walking beneath the trees, but even now Quinn longed to see the open sky above her head. She clung to every part of the blue she could spot between the leaves of the trees. However, what bothered her most wasn't the fact that she couldn't get used to the endless sea of trees surrounding her, it was the fact that Daryl seemed to notice her discomfort.

I brought them in and I had to see them out. So me, Aiden and Nicholas, we drove them out far. Gave them a day's worth of food and water and left them.'
