..Daryl/Beth.. AU S4 prison. Beth looked back to him and she was smiling again and he didn't know her well enough to know if it was an actual smile or a fake one. And for some reason, not knowing that bothered him even though he had no idea why it would. He had other things – bigger things – to worry about than whether or not Beth Greene's smile was genuine.

Beth only knows one person who can understand the darkness inside Carl and help her friend. But she doesn't anticipate all the ways he'll change her too. Beth seeks him out to be her hero but in the end she'll be much more to him.
