    Summary

    Continuation of 'It's a Long Way Down to the Bottom of the River', so essentially a part two. I wanted to split these up into parts because the structure changes from NOW and THEN to normal, so didn't want it to be confusing!

    Alexandria is your new home. With walls and people safe alike, can you move on from the past trauma of what the Governor did to you? Are you prepared for what's to come?

    "You closed your eyes, shutting the world out. You clenched your fingers into fists by your sides. You opened your eyes at Daryl’s touch, his hand on the side of your neck, holding your head. He was close to you. You appreciated it. You liked the feel of his hand on your face, it was an unexplainable comfort. He pressed his forehead to yours, then he lifted his chin and kissed your forehead softly.
    'Believe me,' you whispered, looking into his eyes again. He was still close to you. 'You’d be the person I’d tell everything to, the only person. I just need time.'
    He nodded; his thumb wiped away a stray tear from your cheek. 'I’ll wait.'"
