Summary
Margot Shaw has one rule: don't fuck the married gym teacher, no matter how good the idea sounds at two in the morning when her husband's in the guest room and she's wondering where it all went wrong.
Negan makes it hard to keep that rule. He's got the grin, the shoulders, and the kind of confidence that says he's already decided how this story ends. He's married. She's married. Both marriages are dying in different ways. The line holds anyway.
Until cancer changes everything. Until the outbreak separates them. Until months pass with no way of knowing who survived. Until Lucille dies and Negan becomes something his wife never had to witness.
When their paths cross again, the man she wanted and the man who survived aren't the same person. And every rule that kept them apart burned down with the rest of the world.
(Pre-outbreak temptation. Tragic devotion. And something darker when the dead walk and the past catches up.)
