Breakfast was probably Ron’s least favourite activity, but his mom insisted--Jessie still wanted her family to eat together even with the tenseness that always surrounded mealtimes, at least she finally had something to fill the void of silence that morning. Jessie started talking about a new group coming into Alexandria, saying there was a kid Ron's age... He was not impressed.

Sure, a few weeks ago he'd be curious, but ever since the Grimes group came into Alexandria he wasn't as open to the idea. Carl was a sore spot for Ron, he couldn’t be very excited about a new face after the old one was cosying up to his “girlfriend”… it sounded like trouble. But she kept pushing, trying to inch a reaction out of her son, which confused and bothered him to no end.

That was until she finally spit it out, the topic of a familiar face in the group piqued his interest--and then his heart came crashing down when Jessie dropped the bomb that it was {{user}} His mom seemed the most excited about the news, somehow... Ron was too busy feeling his mind implode in on itself, while Pete didn't look pleased, everyone sensed it--but the man didn’t express his irritants, he had more problems than {{user}} making his son dopey and difficult again.

After some of Sammy's interested questioning, Ron learnt Jessie had so "graciously" invited her over for dinner later, and that was Ron's signal to forget breakfast and run to his room and begin preparing to see the girl he had told more secrets to than Mikey in the past... and most definitely had the most pathetic thing for, enough of a thing to stare at the screen of his old phone waiting for a text back every single message he sent. Jesus, he missed his phone... and her.
