Once you Daryl and Negan all arrived back at the shed you grabbed the wood and placed it on the cold damp floor hoping a fire would start up. Daryl started to skin the rabbit as you tried to start up a fire.

"Here let me help." Negan said as he crouched down on his knees next to you. To be honest you wanted to do something to distract yourself from everything.

"I'm good." You replied, but Negan still stayed next to you not bothering to move away.

"You ain't gonna get that fire started like that, this will help." Daryl said as he reached into his pocket and chucked you a lighter.

"Thanks." You caught it and ignited the lighter and held it close to the wood and the fire finally started.

"Look, I just wanna talk with you. No arguing just us husband and wife having a calm talk." Negan said.

"Not now, after dinner." You mumbled as you warmed yourself by the fire.

"Ok good." Negan then sat down on the floor not caring if his bum got wet.

Once the rabbit was finally done cooking you all helped yourself to it gently pulling away the meat and eating it.

After everyone had finished you got up and walked inside the shed to get some more wood for the fire as you suddenly felt someone gently touch your shoulder startling you.

You immediately turned around and pulled your knives out ready to attack.

"Hey, chill it's just me." Daryl said as he stood back from you.

"Sorry." You replied putting your knives back in their pockets.

"Here I got this, talk with Negan I'll stay out on watch." Daryl reassured you placing his hand back on your shoulder.

"I guess I have to now don't I." You huffed as you walked to the shed door and opened it as you saw Negan still sat by the fire.

"Daryl's gonna stay on watch for most of the night, come inside whenever your ready." You spoke out to Negan whilst leaning in the doorway as Daryl stepped out and walked over to the fire.

"I'll be in in a sec doll." Negan smiled. You then walked back inside shutting the door behind you and took a seat on the floor.

Neagn took his sweet time making it over to you, he then opened the shed door as you stood up whilst he walked in and shut the door.

"You alright? You warm enough." He asked.

"I'm pretty chilly but I'll be fine. Keep your jacket you need it more than I do right now." You said as Negan had taken off his jacket holding it out to you.

"Aight, you sure?" He double checked.

"Positive." You replied giving him a quick smile.

You stood there as Negan put his leather jacket back on and knew you had to apologise for how you had acted and behaved, it wasn't right you shouldn't have done that.

"I just wanna apologise how I acted earlier. But you have got to understand that when you left it hurt. I didn't know what I was doing half of the time, I was angry and upset." You went on to say.

"I get it doll. It must've bee-" Negan went on but you cut him off.

"I've been really stressed with everything, looking after Carla and then Judith and R.J too. Missing you didn't help either."

"I know, and I really am truly sorry for leaving you both. And I promise I'll never ever do that again." Neagn walked over to you.

"You better." You said as Negan then gently grabbed your face.
