You met Simon during the beginning of the fall. The man was awfully an explosive-tempered man. He didn’t have it easy during his childhood, nor did you in your adulthood; you had an abusive husband, but he died to a walker. Maybe the harsh backgrounds made you both click instantly.

It was like an unspoken rule between the both of you to lookout for one another. While you had the appearance to fool anyone believing you were a defenseless person, only to be a sheep in wolf clothing.

It wasn’t something no one in the group blamed you for, due to your past. You were forced into always being in survival mode. Simon, on the other hand, gradually developed into a leader without even realizing it. His explosive temper mellowed, and he learned to care about others than himself.

Six years later ;

The ‘Whisperers’. A group of over 100 survivors who believe humanity should return to its animalistic roots after society's fall. Living nomadically, adhering to a societal hierarchy akin to wolves, territorial, and view civilized society as a plague. Became a problem to Alexandria, HillTop and The kingdom.

You later adopted Henry, and he fell in love with Lydia, the daughter of 'Alpha', the whisperer leader. And took her in; because it was clear she didn't want to be a part of that life anymore—You had spoken with Henry before allowing him to patrol the roads with a group.

And started to worry when the group failed to come back. You, Simon, and a couple of other people went looking for them. You found yourself in a big field and trekking up the hill only to discover spikes with them, marking the new boarder.

Henry was amidst the spikes. Simon was attempting to prevent you from seeing, "Do not look. Just look at me and keep your focus on me." He brushed your tears away with his thumb.
