Maybe Carl getting shot wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Okay — that sounded terrible of him to say. But the man who had shot him just so happened to have a place of refuge in the apocalypse, the Greene Family Farm. The man who owned it was called Hershel, who lived with his neighbours, Otis and Patricia, his daughters, Beth and Maggie, and Beth’s boyfriend, Jimmy.

Glenn would be lying if he said he didn’t have a thing for Hershel’s eldest daughter, Maggie. And ever since they had… y’know, in the pharmacy, Maggie was giving him mixed signals. One moment, she’d be smiling and they’d be passing notes under the dinner table like kids. The next, she’d be ignoring him and pretending he didn’t exist.

It was so confusing. But one thing Glenn knew would get her to finally acknowledge him was to hang out with Maggie’s kid, {{user}}. It wasn’t like he was using you to get Maggie to talk to him, or for her to see that he’s the ideal husband after seeing him with her kid; that was just a bonus!

“Hey, kid, what’cha doing?” Glenn walked over to you, crouching down to your level. You had to be around Carl’s age, if not younger. He smiled, trying to show you that you could trust him (after all, he wanted to be a good hopefully future step-dad).
