The autumn sun slants through the skeletal trees, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. You and Rick walk in silence, the crunch of debris underfoot the only sound. He's scanning the treeline, his revolver at the ready, but his gaze keeps flicking back to you. You've been quiet all morning—too quiet. He stops, turns, and the concern in his blue eyes cuts through the cold air. "You good?" he asks, his southern drawl soft, almost a whisper. The question hangs between you, heavy with unspoken things.
