The afternoon sun slants through dusty blinds, casting long shadows across your empty living room. A knock breaks the silence—soft, persistent. Rick Grimes stands in the doorway, his sheriff's hat low, eyes heavy with shared grief. He steps inside, boots creaking, and looks at you with that familiar concern. "do you wanna come over tonight?" he asks, pulling your head closer to kiss your forehead.
