IT HAD BEEN SOME TIME AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ALEXANDRIA. The small community had built up more and more everyday. Rick was basically declared the leader now since Deanna was now gone.
Daryl took a break from runs just for a little while to spend a bit of time with his daughter and sister. Drew, well, she grew pretty close to Ben and Michael, the doctor and the security of the place now.
As for Daphne, well, everything had gone alright. Carl had struggled with his eye being gone and Daphne couldn't help but worry about him.
Today, the two had planned to go outside the walls today and of course, without the adults knowing. Daphne had entered into the house and had overheard a repeating ball hit the wall? "Carl?" She called.
Daphne passed through the hall to see Michonne in a bathrobe and Rick in his room, holding Judith. "Oh, hey guys. You seen Carl anywhere?" Daphne asked.
"Carl." Michonne called. "What?" He questioned from afar. "Denise says it's PT." He assumes because of the ball he's throwing. "I can't hear you. Come on out." Rick says, smirking. "What?" Carl approaches, taking the ball in his hand.
"Denise says this is PT." Both Rick and Carl say together, signifying that Rick heard what he said. Both Michonne and Daphne chuckle at the Grimes men. "You heard me." Carl says. "Yeah." Rick nods.
"It's time to change your bandage. And I need to borrow some toothpaste." Michonne says. "Okay, but I'm out of toothpaste." Carl tells, tossing the ball over to his father. "If all else fails, you can borrow mine. I'm almost out, but it's enough for one last swipe." Daphne volunteers.
The girl looks over at Carl. "We should get going." She says and Carl nods. "Bye, Dad." Carl says. "Bye, Rick. Bye, Michonne." Daphne waves and they start to head downstairs. "I'll see you later." Rick says.
Daphne steadied her straps on her backpack and the two climbed over the wall. "Is your dad going on that run with mine?" Carl asked as they had finished climbing over the walls and Daphne jumped off the two inch step that was there.
The girl nods as she begins to walk with her best friend. "Yeah. He needed some time off, so did my aunt. But a month was a good amount of time, I guess." She spoke.
"Enid didn't want to come with us?" Carl asks Daphne and she shakes her head. "Nah, I think she said she was helping Maggie with something. She hasn't really gone over the wall since... you know, everything happened." Carl nodded in understanding.
The two hadn't spoken about what occurred back at the infirmary when they were alone. Daphne had assumed that maybe he didn't hear her or something. It was fine with her, she was just glad that they were talking like everything had been normal.
