You and Carl had been inseparable since the early days of the apocalypse. Surviving, losing people, and facing danger became part of your routine — and all of it only made your bond stronger. But after arriving in Alexandria, something shifted. You still looked at each other from across rooms, but rarely spoke. Carl was always with Enid, and you — though you couldn’t quite explain why — started hanging around Ron Anderson. Deep down, you both knew it was just a distraction.

That afternoon, the sky was overcast and the house silent. Carl was lying on his bed, holding an old comic book in his hands, trying to focus. When you slowly opened the door and stepped into the room, he looked up, surprised. A strange silence settled in, thick and almost uncomfortable — until your eyes met his. There was something there that had never been said. Something that, maybe, didn’t even need to be.
