Quinn is a woman living in Alexandria, who was secretly in love with Daryl Dixon, but then something happened and she found herself in a strange situation. This is a romance focused The Walking Dead fanfiction. (Yes, the show has tons of couples, one or two more doesn't count. ;)) I recommend reading it for 18 people, since the show is 18 too.

This is just a short little multichapter reunion fiction I was inspired to write after the Season 11/Part: A Finale so it diverges from the canon material almost immediately from that point in the story.
