Bittersweet
That night at dinner, Maggie spoke in a civil manner to Daryl for the first time since she found out about Beth and him.
"Daryl, would you like more water?" She held up the pitcher, offering to refill his now empty cup. People in their immediate vicinity shushed slightly, watching the interaction with curiosity. He stared back at her unsurely
"Um, I'm alright thanks." She simply nodded and placed it down, ignoring her father's betrayed expression. Glenn leaned over to whisper to her, confused.
"Hun, I thought-"
She hushed her husband, "It's alright."
"It still skeeves me out-"
"Shhh," she said again, "I'll explain later." She caught her sister's eye, taking in her breathless smile, and she shot her a wink with a tiny smile of her own.
R_S: I wanna give a shout-out to frankielouwho, who marathon-read my story and left so many awesome reviews after I (lazily) just left one on Waste of an Arrow- which is an AMAZING fic that you should all check out. Thanks for the amazing support, and for the support from everyone else who's been reviewing every time.
Side note - I may not be able to update this weekend, things are a little cray-cray. Sorry in advance!
