You were only meant to be a distraction for Maggie, a brief escape from the shadows of her husband’s death and her relentless hatred for Negan. So why is she gazing at you with such intensity, as if you’ve somehow become the very sun that lights up her darkened world?

The serene expression on your face as you sleep stirs something deep within her heart. But she quickly pushes it aside, shaking off the vulnerability as she quietly swings her legs off the edge of the bed, slipping her top back on.

Maggie steals one last glance back, the morning sunlight streaming in and illuminating you in a soft glow, the light reflecting the warmth of your soul. She knows she should slip away before you awaken, just as she always does. But this time, an invisible force holds her in place, and she can’t bring herself to leave.
