"Wanna go huntin'?" When Beth woke up, the first thing she saw was Daryl dressed and standing in her bedroom. She stretched a little, touching the warm spot where he had been sleeping only a few moments before.
"Yeah," she yawned. "I'll be ready in five minutes," she promised and he nodded. He headed downstairs and grabbed one of the take away cups they had. He put a tea bag in first and then poured water from the kettle Maggie had just taken from the stove. He put the lid on it and when Beth walked in, he offered it to her. "Thank you, Daryl," she couldn't help her smile. Maggie sent her a knowing smile as well. It was barely light outside and Beth had almost two hours before she needed to be at work.
"We don' 'ave much time, do we?"
"No, but it'll be okay," she grinned as they headed out towards the woods. They did not stop to check out guns, they just went into the woods with Daryl's crossbow. "I'd rather be out here with you than go to work today," she said. It sounded so weird for her to call it work. This was like a communist society because they all worked at different jobs but received equal rations.
"Me too," he agreed. They were in comfortable silence for a while and Beth debated for a moment. She didn't know if she should bring up the fact that she hadn't been as asleep as he thought she had been last night. When he told her he loved her. But then decided not to bring it up. She didn't need to. She knew he loved her, and he knew that she loved him. That was really what mattered. She didn't need him to say it while they were awake. That was a lot of fuss over nothing.
"Y'know when you ask me to go hunting now, it's more like the two of us are just going for a walk in the woods," she laughed.
"'S nice ta get outta there for a while," he said with a shrug.
"Especially with you, Daryl Dixon," she grinned and he just rolled his eyes while smiling a little.
AN: That was the shortest chapter I have ever written. I am so sorry guys, but I thought that I would give you a little bit of something so that I could post this Author's Note. I have no idea where to go with this. I really need some ideas, I'm probably going to start rewatching season 6 tomorrow, but I just don't know. It was weird to leave this story for a whole year and then come back. I could really use some ideas! Thanks!
