Rainey Behr suffers from social anxiety. Living a normal life and going out with her friends is a daily challenge. She longs for a man in her life, but her fuller figure, bad experiences and her own issues about her appearance are making it impossible for her to open up to a man. One night, she bumps into Daryl Dixon, and together, they embark on a completely new journey.

People build up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down. Truer words have never been spoken where Daryl Dixon was concerned. He never expected anyone to care enough, until someone did. Starts out AU with 20 yr old Daryl, but from Ch. 22 on we'll be in ZA-world. M-rating for smut, language, adult topics, descriptions of abuse & attempted rape.
