Beth stood at the checkout line with a gallon of milk, some toothpaste and a can of Pringles and a bottle of coke. She sighed as the line was moving slower than it normally was but with the sickness that was going around the small town the she lived in she wasn't very surprised at all. She was fourth from the front of the only cash register that Mark's grocery store open, normally there was 5 open at this time of day but they were extremely short staffed. As Beth inched closer to the checkout she eyed the candy bars that we're sitting so temptingly on the shelf beside the counter Beth count help but reach for a crunch bar, grabbed the candy she tossed it up with her few items and continued to wait. About 5 minutes more of waiting and Beth was now behind a older man with a huge cart full of food and other items she inwardly groaned but then someone caught her eye as she turned her head to look out the store window. Daryl Dixon stood in front of his truck with a cigarette hanging limply out of his mouth as he fumbled around for a lighter and his brother Merle was nowhere in sight for the first time in forever, Beth wondered if he was off getting into trouble or starting a bar fight. Just then daryl looked up and their eyes met and for a split second the world became an empty void and nothing else seemed to exist. A sudden throat clearing was Beth's call back to reality and she looked as the cashier and the hot and angry customers who looked ready to snap and cuss her out with cheeks warm and embarrassed. She paid for her things and shyly went to her car all the while Daryl watched this interesting women who had caught his eye, he puffed his cigarette and watched her leave without looking back at him, he felt himself smirk.
"This is gonna be interesting" he quietly thought to him self.
