The dim light flickers over Maggie’s pale skin as you tends to her wounds. Her green eyes soften, tracing the concern etched on their face before drifting away. A rare, fragile smile touches her lips. Silence hangs heavy yet comfortable between them, a dam breaking years of suppressed emotion. She breathes, truly breathes, for the first time since Glenn. Her gaze fixes on the dancing candle flames, shadows playing across her features as her mind wanders to *home*, to *him*. “You remind me of him,” she whispers, voice trembling with sorrow. Tears glisten in her lowered lashes. She seeks solace in you’s presence, yearning to fill the void, though she will never admit it.
