I walked through the door and I could hear the ball hitting against the wall.

"Oh, not this again." I said and tip-toed backwards.

"Do you have any toothpaste?" Michonne asked.

"None for you!" I called back, she was the reason Rick didn't have any left.

"I'll be there for it." Michonne said and I shook my head while walking out the door.

"You goin on that run?" I asked while walking down the stairs. Daryl stopped to look at me.

"Yeah, I was just packing up...You know, I was just talking to Denise about this list." Daryl said and held up the list. I walked down the stairs and we started walking down the road together.

"How'd it go?" I asked.

"She talks like you trying to describe something you don't know what the hell your talking about." Daryl said.

"Like a wombat?" I asked.

"Like a wombat. You have anything you need?" Daryl asked and I looked around.

"No...It's really quiet." I said and looked around.

"Compared to what it was, quiet it good." Daryl told me and nudged my shoulder.

"You okay?" He asked and I nodded my head.

"I think so." I told him.

"Good. You sure you don't need anything?" Daryl asked and I shook my head.

"No, I should be good. Except toothpaste, because you know how she is." I told Daryl and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, I do. All right, I love you, try not to get in to much trouble." Daryl told me.

"Yeah, I can only try. But I should be telling you to stay out of trouble." I told him.

"Probably." Daryl said and put his hand out. I slid mine across it and gave him a fist bump.

"All right, I love you, be safe." I told him.

"I love you, too, and I'll be back." Daryl told me and I nodded my head.

"I know you will." I told him and watched him walk away.


I saw Maggie walking away from the gazebo and I saw who she was talking to. I ran over and walked up the stairs.

"Hey." I said and Enid looked up at me.

"Hey." She said back.

"You know, it started with you just being friends with me and they saw it. Then you helped Glenn and Maggie, they're going to embrace you, I hope you know that." I told her and sat down in front of her.

"I can tell." Enid said and I looked at the notebook in her hands.

"You write?" I asked and she nodded her head.

"You do?" She asked and pointed to the pocket book in my back pocket. I pulled it out and looked through the pages.

"Yeah. I guess Reg told Noah that he should write down everything, for the future and memory. That was the last normal conversation Noah had. I figured Reg was right, so I started." I told her and she put her hand out towards the notebook.

I handed it to her and she started going through the pages. It wasn't a lot and I knew there would be more, but it was a start.

"I'm glad your the one doing it. This is probably the best lay out type thing I've ever seen." Enid said and handed me the notebook back.
