At Night- The Cure
"It's getting colder, isn't it?" Glenn rubbed his hands together briefly, sparing a moment to glance at Sasha. She had been taking more shifts on the wall, and in the tower, even before the sudden attacks and the invasion of the walkers into Alexandria. He was a little hesitant around her, not really ever getting close to her at the prison, or on the road. After losing the two men that were important in her life she had become fierce and cold in a way that didn't invite more conversation.
She shook her head, snorting softly, "It always seems to be getting colder, one way or another. Why are you out here tonight? I thought that you had day shifts, so you and Maggie could be together at night."
He shrugged, "Rosita asked, Maggie was tired and everyone else was busy. Am I so terrible to be up here with?" He almost smiled, but stopped himself when she turned to smirk at him.
"Could be worse." Sasha gestured toward the darkened houses, "I bet you know all of the recent gossip." Her expression grew more serious as she continued staring out over the houses.
"I think they are finally realizing how dangerous the world has become, maybe believing the things we told them finally." Glenn took a deep breath, "Everything is different when you can stay in your own bed, safe, at night and not worry about what might be lurking out beyond the walls."
"I was mad at them for that, when we first got here. Maybe I shouldn't have judged too harshly, considering that I survived in a bunker for so long, untouched. After Bob, and then Tyreese . . . it was hard to think these things through. They just seemed to have it so easy here. Now they don't."
"No one does, not really. Even the ones who think they have safety are only going to find out that it has made them weak when things fall apart, and everything always seems to fall apart eventually." Glenn stopped, frowning, "Can't let that stop us from living, and trying to survive for the future though."
"The future, like having a baby? You know you're crazy, right?"
Glenn laughed, "Yeah, we do, but we're not giving up today."
