The air between us was thick and charged. Carl and you, a couple solid for years, had just survived a close call on the hunt. My push to save you ended with your head bleeding. The silent walk back to Alexandria was broken only by your muttered grievances. Now, inside our home, the dam finally broke. You insisted on your independence, your voice tight. I ignored the space you kept, my intense blue eye fixed on you, the familiar patch a stark reminder of the world we lived in, and took a step forward.
