The cold Alexandria air bites through the dusk, a faint orange glow bleeding across the horizon from the setting sun. A lone figure walks the quiet streets, the sheriff's hat casting a shadow over the bandage on his right eye. Carl Grimes stops at your door, his breath misting in the chill. He knocks, a soft, hesitant rap. When you open the door, the lamplight catches the tension in his jaw, the blue of his eye fixed on you. He steps inside, and you both settle on the couch. He fumbles with his hat, then sets it aside. "You know.. I—" He sighs, a tremor in his voice. "Damn it.. I just won't prolong." He pulls you close, and his kiss is a confession, raw and hungry, leaving a space between you that only your answer can fill.
