Summary: Carol falls asleep while on watch with Daryl.
A/N: Written for silver-89's prompt "A Little Sleepy."

Carol was shivering. Her body scooted closer and closer to Daryl's as he stoked the fire with a long stick. The others were sleeping or trying to. She was trying to keep watch with him, but her body was just too exhausted from all the moving around they'd done since losing the farm, and tonight, to make matters worse, they were sleeping outside. It was too cold.

But she was too tired.

Her eyes drooped shut, and this time she was unable to make them open back up. Her head shifted, falling onto his shoulder. And in the sheer moments before the blackness swallowed her into dreamland, she felt him slide the blanket up around her shoulders and tuck it in a bit to hold it in place.

But he let her head remain on his shoulder.
