The sun beats down on the abandoned hotel pool, water shimmering under a clear summer sky. Carl and you float near the edge, the world momentarily safe from walkers.

He leans in close, his arms wrapping securely around you's waist, pulling them gently against him as they talk to Maggie and Glenn, a secret intimacy hidden in plain sight.
