After finishing the interview with Deanna Michonne explored the town. As she walked the streets a two story, light blue colored house caught her attention; she could see the group living in this particular house. She walked into another house and saw Carl rummaging through the cabinets.
"Hey busy body where's Rick?"
"He's in the bathroom" He chuckled "I'm gonna take Judith outside to get some air"
There was unfinished business between the two of them which couldn't wait. Stepping into the bathroom she saw Rick's naked body in the shower, with his head down under the running water.
"Rick we need to talk" The soft tone in her voice caught Rick's attention along with a neutral look on her face. She leaned against the shower door.
"I don't know how to feel about you anymore. We've been growing apart since we've been out on the road. Even at the barn I didn't feel the same way" She continued gazing in his direction.
Rick knew he'd distanced himself from her. His love for her was strong but with the stresses of finding a place to live plus exhaustion he completely shut off his mental and physical connection with her. Not willing to lose her he decided to speak up.
"You should know already how much I care for you... Nothing's changed"
Before he could say anything else she took off her clothes, and then grabbed the shaving kit by the sink before entering the shower. Once she finished shaving his beard she ran her hands along his smooth face. After sharing a few laughs he pinned her body against his, grabbing her hips as they enjoy the fresh water falling down their bodies.
Thirty minutes later Carl came back into the house. He could hear light moans, and banging noises coming from the bathroom.
"Uhh dad" When he heard Carl's voice he still embraced Michonne in his arms.
"What is it?"
"One of the residences is grilling hot dogs you want one?"
She planted a kiss on his lips, whispering in his ear "I already had one hot dog today" They both chuckled quietly as the continued to passionately kiss each other.
"Do you know where Michonne is? I can't find her" He smacked her butt.
"She's probably outside somewhere"
"Dad... I know she's in there" Michonne couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm just washing his back busy body. Just save us two hot dogs and we'll be out in a second"
"That's not all your washing" He mumbled quietly.

Night time.
Michonne couldn't sleep. This place seemed too good to be true which concerned her. She sat up and seen Rick looking out the window. She walked up to him
"Can't sleep either" He nodded
"Do you feel good about this place?" She looked at him
"Yeah. Do you?"
"Not sure yet..."
He rubbed her shoulder and suggested they take a walk. She led him to that abandoned house she saw earlier. They began searching around the house for anything; nothing useful but empty picture frames and furniture. Rick spotted a large cable knit blanket inside a closet and decided he could put it to good use.
Michonne spotted an empty room with a beautiful view of the moon, deciding to enjoy it. Rick saw her sitting in front of the window; deciding to set the mood he shut off the overhead light and sat beside her, wrapping the large blanket around them. She laid her head on his shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked
"Nothing... Just looking at the stars" He gently rubbed her head.
"You wanna stay in this house?"
"Are you asking me to move in with you grimes?"
"Yeah. You, Me, Judith and Carl" She looked up at him. His blue eyes glowed even brighter under the moonlight while her brown eyes sparkled.
"...Like a family" He nodded. She repositioned herself onto his lap, wrapping her arms around him. He wrapped the blanket around her more to keep some heat between them.
"Looks like we need to start filling those picture frames" She chuckled at his comment.
"Shut up Rick" Embracing each other more closely they engaged in another passionate kiss, enjoying this beautiful night of rekindled romance.
