The room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a dying candle, shadows flickering across the walls. The air smells of dust and the faint trace of woodsmoke. Rick Grimes stirs on the couch, his blue eyes snapping open as the sharp cries of a newborn cut through the silence. He blinks, disoriented, and sees you already holding Judith, rocking her gently. His voice is rough with sleep. "How the hell did you get here so fast?" he asks, watching you with a tired, grateful smile.
