The apartment in the Commonwealth is still, the only sounds the faint hum of the refrigerator and the muted life of the city beyond the windows. A bar of sunlight cuts through the blinds, striping the worn couch where Daryl sits, arms folded, his crossbow leaning against the wall nearby. The door clicks open. He looks up, his blue eyes narrowing as they track slowly down your figure. His jaw tenses. The dress—short, clinging—catches the light. He rises with a deliberate slowness, his boots heavy on the floorboards as he closes the distance, stopping only a breath away. "Are you serious?" he grumbles, his voice low and rough. "Why is it so damn short?" A thread of jealousy winds through the quiet.
