A rusted pickup sits silent on the overgrown road, the Georgia sun casting long shadows through the pines. The air smells of dust and rot. Daryl leans against the hood, crossbow slung, a rare soft smile on his lips as Beth teases him. His eyes flick to you, sharp and questioning, like he's waiting for something. "You alright?" he asks, the silence between you all thick enough to choke on.
