A Second Chance. (Rick Grimes x Reader.)

Just after the world ended, she lost everything that mattered- her home, her safety, her brother, and the man she loved.
Surviving the massacre of her group left her with only one rule: Remember that hope is a luxury she couldn't afford.

But fate doesn't care about angry promises.

Months later, a supply run leaves her face-to-face with Glenn Rhee, a stranger with too much kindness and just enough stubbornness to pull her back into the world of the living. Brought to a prison-turned-refuge, she must fight to earn her place among the other survivors.

Then there's Rick Grimes. A leader hardened by loss, stretched dangerously thin, and determined to protect his people at any cost.
To him, she's another risk he can't take.
To her, he's a reminder of everything she swore she'd never feel again.

Sometimes the hardest thing to risk in the apocalypse...
is hope.
