Out of Love
Carol found them in the guard tower. When she hadn't been able to find Beth, and she knew Daryl was on watch, she knew there was only one place they could be. As far as she knew no one else knew about the secret relationship that was going on, but Carol needed to talk to them, before the others found out. She made sure to knock on the door before she walked inside. Daryl was leaning on the wall and Beth was leaning against the window. She didn't miss how red and swollen their lips were, or the fact that Beth was blushing. "We need to talk." She closed the door, shutting them all in.
"About what?" Daryl asked, crossing his arms.
"About you two." Carol leaned back against the door and looked between them. "No one else knows yet, at least I don't think they do." She ran a hand over her hair. "How long has this been going on?"
Beth chewed her lip and looked at Daryl. "About a month," she answered quietly.
Carol nodded her head. She didn't know how she felt about this. She wanted them to both be happy. But Daryl was twice her age. "How do you think your dad and sister are going to take this?" she asked.
Beth shrugged her shoulders, moving closer to Daryl. There was no point in hiding it anymore. Daryl wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against him. "It doesn't matter. It's none of their business. Besides, dad is so wrapped up in Rick and Maggie's got her head so far up Glenn's ass I doubt they know I'm ever gone, unless Judith is crying."
Carol frowned a bit. Beth had a point. No one seemed to pay her much attention unless they needed a babysitter. She looked at Daryl. He looked just as upset about that as Carol was. She sighed and nodded her head. "I'll keep quiet until you're ready to tell everyone." She smiled a little. "And I'll be on your side when you do tell them."
Beth smiled a little. "Thanks Carol." Carol nodded her head and walked out. There was a shit storm brewing with those two.
