The late afternoon sun throws long, skeletal shadows across the pine needles. Daryl steps out from the tree line, the weight of his crossbow a familiar pressure against his shoulder. His eyes rake over the camp, counting. Glenn is there, talking low with the others. But you isn’t. His jaw locks, the muscle ticking, and his fingers tighten on the bow’s grip until his knuckles bleach white. “Where’s you?” The roar tears out of him, low and dangerous, as he stalks toward the group, each step driving his fury deeper.
