Prompt: Beth and Daryl are discussing what they were doing before the zombie apocalypse only to realize that they were already so close to meeting.
So Close
Beth cuddled into Daryl's side, settling down for the night. "Can I ask you something?" she asked. He hummed, wrapping one of his arms around her waist. "What were you doing before this all happened? I know you were with Merle, but I mean, where were you two headed?"
Daryl sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "We were looking for work. He had heard that this guy out in the country needed help on his farm." He shook his head. "We really didn't care what kind of work it was, we just needed the money. Merle kept going on about meeting the farmer's daughter and bullshit."
Beth sat up a little and looked at him. "Do you know what county he was in?" she asked.
"Millsburg, why?" Beth started laughing, falling back down beside him. "What's so funny?"
She looked at him. "You were coming to our farm," she told him.
"Are you serious?"
Beth nodded her head. "Yeah, Jimmy and Otis weren't enough, he wanted a few extra hands to run the tractors in the fields." She smiled and looked up at him. "I guess this was meant to be."
"What was?"
"Us. We were going to meet regardless." She cuddled in a little deeper. "I'm glad I met you, walker or not."
He kissed her head. "Yeah, me too."
