   Summary

   After surviving the Governor's torture chamber, Andrea is home with her family at the prison where she belongs. Blaming himself for not doing more to protect her and for leaving her behind at the farm, Rick tries to make up for it by being there for her while she recovers and works through her trauma and guilt over everything that happened in Woodbury. As their friendship grows into mutual attraction, can they let go of their demons long enough to find happiness together when one of them is still out there?

   Or, what if Andrea had survived her encounter with the Governor on the show and, through it, become more like her comic counterpart?
