Blake looked to Rick as they finished up their rounds and sat back at the front. Then he asked her a question no one had asked her since everything happened. It caught her off guard, but she chuckled. "Before it all? I was a girl always in trouble. I went to seven different boarding schools, I was arrested four times, all for 'aggravated assault,' however the charges were dropped because it was self defense."

She paused and thought some more. "I went to school, studying psychology, but I was taking a semester off to spend with my best friend before he deployed to Afghanistan." She felt herself move to hold the dog tags on her neck. "I was trying to get my life back together, I had been running with the wrong people, and he got me out. I owed him a lot." She said. "What about you? From how you carry yourself I would imagine you were involved in law enforcement."

Daryl wasn't ready to talk about Carol yet, and was glad when he could hear Bailey sleeping. Carol had gotten under his skin, found her way into his heart, but they lost her at the prison. She killed herself after saying goodbye, having been bitten when they lost Laurie and T-Dog. 

He soon closed his own eyes and fell asleep.
