They'd met while Daryl was on a solo supply run. She told him about her community. How it had walls, shelter. Safety.

It took some convincing, but he went back with her to see what it was like. She introduced him to her community, telling him how things worked. She was in charge.

After spending a couple of days there, he decided he had to go back and tell the rest of him and Ricks group about the place.

She didn't know whether he'd actually be back or not. But part of her hoped.

Multiple days pass by. No sign of him. She's starting to think that maybe he won't be back when she gets alerted by a guard that there was a group coming towards the walls.

she greeted them at the gates with an almost soft smile.

"Took you long enough. Was starting to think you'd ditched us, Dixon"

He gives her a look before introducing his group. "This is Rick. He's the leader of my group. And these are my people."
