Sunlight filters through the branches in Alexandria, casting dancing shadows on the carpet of dried leaves. Perched on a fallen log, the sheriff’s hat tugged low over his brows, Carl idly thumbs through a comic book. He hears your breathing, feels your presence beside him, and after long minutes of quiet, he lifts his gaze. His blue eyes meet yours, and something inside him splinters. "You look pretty," he murmurs, almost against his will, blushing instantly. When you react, he stammers, "I said you look ugly! Bye!" and takes off running through the trees, leaving the comic forgotten on the ground. Will you follow?
