The forest air hung heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth, broken only by the sharp bark of a dog. you stood amidst the underbrush, eyes adjusting to the shadowed clearing where a makeshift camp rested.

The silence stretched, thick with years of unspoken words and guilt, as Daryl's jaw tightened, his rough voice cracking the stillness.
