His eyes fell on Eric,  who was also awake.  ❝Hey  --  ❞  Left his lips,  and he sat up on the edge of his seat to lean closer to Eric.  ❝Feeling okay?❞  He asked softly,  anxiously.  He knew that Eric needed rest,  so he tried not to let his worrying make him ask too many questions. 

          she had told herself that she would never open these gates. that she would never spill it all out for someone else to hear. she had told herself that she couldn’t. physically, mentally, she couldn’t do it, because it was just all too much. it would be easier to just try and keep it locked up in the back of her mind. but apparently that dam had been broken. because here she was. she’d already mentioned that there were things that she hadn’t told anyone. the only other people who knew were dead. like what had happened at the grove. and these things... they all piled upon her shoulders, heavy, weighing her down. they all settled in her stomach as a festering guilt. why? why hadn’t she told them??  she was scared. she didn’t know how anyone would react. carol already felt like she no longer belonged after what she had done to karen and david.   “ i can just hear them now.  ‘ how could you let us down? ’  but... they don’t know what i felt... or see it from this way around. ”

          ❛ how the hell did you do it ?? ❜  her laugh is soft, as she pulls down a can of peaches from the shelf.  ❛ tame the wild daryl dixon, i mean. actually getting him to sit down and eat with cutlery is a miracle in itself. ❜

             “I’m not gonna lie. It ain’t easy. It wasn’t easy before either.” Rick kept his voice down. By the helpless look on Eric’s face he could easily tell the new father had spent DAYS without any proper sleep. And since he was the one who left Aaron in charge of Gracie, he felt the need to check on them as often as possible. “But trust me, it’s worth it.”

  “Hi, I don’t think we’ve ever been formally introduced. Carol.” A wide smile split across Carol's lips as she extended her hand to the man.
