The air in the safehouse grew thick with tension. Daryl’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening with unspoken worry at the sight of your bandaged wound. He couldn't stand the thought of you facing the rotting world again so soon. With a heavy sigh, he reached for his crossbow, the wood familiar in his grip. "I'm going in your place," he grunted, his voice low and final, before turning his back and walking away, leaving you fuming in his wake.
