Your POV
Two days earlier
You're still in the carriage. It's starting to snow where you are. Everyone's feeling it. You're all now wearing coats lined with fur. Anna's shivering and holding her arms.

Anna: F--fuck...

She looks at you.

Anna: How much f--further?

You take out your map and you look for Alexandria.

You: About a day or two.

Anna's wondering why you aren't shivering like her.

Anna: A--aren't you cold?

You: Nope. I've been through worse conditions.

Anna: Y--you saying t--this is a good condition?

You shrug.

You: It's not so bad. The sooner we get to Alexandria, the better.

Anna: This place better have f--fucking heaters.

You: This place better still be there at all.

Anna looks at the ground.

You kinda feel like there's still some tension between you two. You really don't feel like she's a bad person--you think that she just doesn't know where to draw the line.

You: Ann--

The carriage comes to a stop. Someone opens the back curtain.

Soldier: Alright, all. We're gonna be taking a break and set up a camp. Everyone out.

You all get out of the back of the carriage. Everyone tries to make their coats tighter by pulling the sides together.

Soldier: Everyone get your tents set up.

You and Anna set up a tent. Everyone walks over to a campfire for dinner. Anna walks over to the fire, but stops and turns around when she sees that you're not following her.

Anna: Aren't you coming?

You: Nah. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed.

You open the tent and you walk in. The tent is lit up by a kerosene lamp.

You take off your boots. You take off your hat and your glasses. You climb into your sleeping bag. You rest your head on a pretty weak pillow.

You start to think about everyone. Especially Clem and AJ. You hope that Jack is keeping AJ safe--you've never seen him handle another kid besides you.

You think of Clementine and you smile. Hopefully she's doing alright. You hope that El's keeping her safe... Or Clem's keeping El safe.

You chuckle.

Someone opens the tent and you immediately put your glasses on. You look and see Anna.

You: What?

Anna: I brought some food from the fire...in case you were hungry.

You sit up. Anna gets on her knees and hands you a paper plate with venison on it. You take a bite out of the venison.

You: Thanks.

She smiles.

Anna: You're welcome.

There's an awkward silence while you eat your venison for a few seconds.

Anna: ...Do you sleep with them on?

You: Hm?

She points at your glasses.
