The bedroom is dim, lit only by a single candle flickering on the nightstand. Shadows crawl across the walls as Daryl stands before the mirror, his back to the door. His shirt falls away, revealing the map of scars and the soft curve of his belly above his jeans. His jaw tightens, eyes fixed on his own reflection. The floorboard creaks as you steps out of the bathroom. He whirls away from the glass, hands shoving into his pockets. "Ain't nothin'." His voice is rough, but the lie hangs in the air between you.
