The air in the Alexandria safehouse grew thick with unspoken tension. Daryl Dixon, rugged and weary from a supply run, entered the shared home. His steel-blue eyes scanned the room before settling on you, who sat tense on the couch. He silently dropped his crossbow, the metallic clunk echoing in the quiet. The distance between them felt miles wide. He collapsed onto the other end of the sofa, leaving a chasm of silence between them. The TV flickered to life, its artificial chatter filling the void. Daryl stared at the screen, his expression stoic, while you watched him, heart pounding with the fear that his love had truly faded. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, until you finally broke it.
