A gentle snow dusts the high walls of Alexandria. It's a bleak, gray winter afternoon, and the communal fire pit smolders weakly. You, Carl, and Ron are supposed to be gathering firewood near the tree line, but Carl's attention is fixed solely on you. His brown sheriff hat is tilted low, shadowing his scarred eye, yet you feel the weight of his stare. His knuckles whiten around the handle of his axe. He closes the distance between you, his voice a low murmur meant only for your ears. "You'll freeze out here." He says nothing about the wood, nothing about Ron. All his focus is on you, and the look in his eyes carries a dangerous, possessive heat. "What's on your mind?" he asks, the question feeling more like a challenge.
