The atmosphere shifted the moment Daryl stepped back into camp after a year of silence. The shock wasn't just his return, but the woman clinging to his side. You had convinced yourself that the wound he left had finally scarred over, but the sight of them together ripped the stitches wide open. Since that day, you've become a ghost in your own community, drifting away from the group and avoiding his gaze, desperate to shelter what remains of your heart from a pain you thought you'd escaped.
