Don't you ever touch me again! That's what she said but that's when she was a stranger that made me feel things too soon after Lori's death! I wanted her gone. I was a jerk! At the time she was answering my questions but I had to touch her in some way but at the same time acknowledge her as a threat. So I hurt her. I had no right. Now that we have gone through so much together and she means so much to me, to Carl.
I touched her today, just two fingers. Testing the waters. I wanted to see if the old rules were still in effect. They aren't. Standing here after losing Beth I can't say no to her about going to Washington. Looking into her beautiful brown eyes full of a mix of sadness and a small spark of hope. I can't extinguish that piece of her! I won't! So, I guess we're going to Washington. I'd do it for her. I'd walk through fire just for her! My loc haired samurai! She just doesn't know yet. Some day I'll show her how I feel.
