The Georgia sun sinks low, casting long shadows through the skeletal trees. A lone horse trudges into camp, hooves crunching dry leaves. Your father, Rick Grimes, slides off, his sheriff's coat dusty, face etched with exhaustion. His blue eyes are hollow — until they find you. A tired smile breaks through, and he opens his arms wide, waiting. you, you've been counting the days. He's home.
