Daryl and Sasha are BFFs
"So yew n' Bob huh?" Daryl murmured.
"Yeah. It sorta just happened and we are seeing where it goes." Sahsa glanced Daryl's way and shrugged.
He hummed and kept walking. The sun was so blinding that nearly everyone in the group had to walk with a hand up to block the sun from burning their retinas.
Sasha struggled more than others because, in her opinion, she had the world's most sensitive eyes. Ever since she was young, she had to wear sunglasses almost all year long, everyday until 7 or 8 o'clock pm. If only she could have a pair right now.
Only Daryl knows about her 'weakness' (only she would call a normal issue as light sensitivity a weakness) so he tried walking in front of her to use his own body as a human shield. When that didn't work, he put both of his hands over her eyes and tried to guide her along the trail they were on.
Their laughter and antics eventually caught the attention of Bob. He was a few paces ahead of them and he only noticed them when Daryl failed to mention the body in front of Sasha and caused her to bump into Bob's back. Daryl mumbled a quick apology and directed her elsewhere. However, after like five minutes, they had to bench that idea.
Finally, Daryl settled on taking off his vest and letting her use it as a very large makeshift sun hat. The kind he could have sworn J-Lo wore in a music video.
This made Bob pause with his mouth agape in shock.
Daryl never took off his vest. If he did, no one ever saw him do it. In fact, no one knows what his clothes look like when he's not wearing them, and now that Bob sees the vest off of Daryl's wide frame, he sees just how big the vest really is. If he was honest, he now sees how big of a man Daryl really is.
Sasha took the vest without hesitation as if they had been in that situation before.
Have they been in that situation before? Bob wondered.
She didn't even have to verbally thank him; them walking closely with their shoulders touching and the crinkles at the edges of Daryl's eyes let Bob know that she had already said 'thank you' and they both had moved on to another conversation.
