Chapter Twenty One – Your My Girl

She was sitting on the bed, crying. It wasn't fair. She loved Daryl, she didn't know when it had happened or why. But it was true and he didn't think she meant it.

He entered the house. "Sent Michonne away. We will leave tomorrow." He paused. "No one has ever said that to me before, say it again."

It took her a moment to piece it together, but she smiled. "I love you Daryl Coon Dixon!" She almost screamed it at him. He dipped his head, then kissed her again.

"Riley, I can't say it back. I do care for you, I'm fond of you… But I don't know how to love." Daryl kissed her neck, gently over the spot he had marked earlier. "Your my girl." He breathed it into her. She made him feel alive, and for that he was pleased.
