Carol smiles, when Daryl wraps his arms around her waist from behind.
His forehead resting against her back, between her shoulderblades.
His warm breath dampening her skin under the thin material of her blouse.

"Happy, that you are here. Safe."
They can“t take it for granted.
Safety. Home. Life.
He kisses her neck, skimming his nose along her throat, breathing her in.

When they are together.
Safe.
Alive.
