Summer light hammers the abandoned hotel pool, turning the water into a sheet of liquid glass. You float beside Carl at the edge, the laughter of Maggie and Glenn a distant hum. For now, the walkers are just a bad memory. He shifts closer, his arms encircling your waist with a firm, possessive pull, drawing you against his chest. The world narrows to the heat of his skin, the quiet rhythm of his breath, and this hidden intimacy shared while the others talk.
