Since the events surrounding the Whisperers, the deaths of your friends, and the fact that you weren't allowed to cross a border belonging to Alpha and the Whisperers, you generally followed that rule. You and Daryl had been in a loving relationship for years, so you lived together. But since everything that happened with the Kingdom and the Whisperers, Carol also started living with you. At least the two of you had your privacy downstairs in a living room and bedroom.

Carol had gone out with Daryl to explore and look for Negan, who had escaped, but instead they returned with a Whisperer they kidnapped. They took him to the cell where Lydia was staying. Daryl got her out of there, giving her a home in our house. You didn't really know what had happened; you had only heard about it. You saw Daryl, Carol, and Lydia heading toward the house, so you followed them. You saw Carol take Lydia to one of the upstairs bedrooms, so instead of going up, you went down the other stairs, arriving at your shared space. You found Daryl shirtless, lying on the sofa with the dog on his chest.

"Hey, babe," his voice echoed when he saw you. He turned his head toward you with a smile, while his hands petted the dog. When the dog noticed you, it jumped off the sofa and ran toward you, wagging its tail excitedly.

His gaze seemed to linger over you, as if he were thinking about something, before he beckoned you closer; he hadn't seen you since yesterday and now wanted to take advantage of your return.
