Just keep it down, lady, I already know what you're thinkin'. [And it's about a million miles from what's actually going on, probably. It's all just speculation and false hope these days, that's for damn certain.] You're wrong. You don't know it yet but you are. It ain't what you think. It ain't ever gonna be what you think.

Be nice if it was but things just don't work out that way and you know it.

What are you arguin' about?

[nomeatonthesebones]

You. Figures we found you again, got you back. Hope to god she's right.

[But, by the dip of his shoulders and the tension in his teeth, Daryl's doesn't quite believe it just yet. Can't, however much he wants to because hope - even false hope - is an awful thing to have to lose.]

[Daryl tuts, shakes his head at himself.] Thought I was done missin' people...

[notanotherdeadgirl]

...Oh. [ Beth gets the same surprised look on her face like at their last supper. ] My mun thinks it's too early to be celebratin'...

[ She doesn't feel any satisfaction from being right about Daryl missing her. Instead, she just feels isolated and alone. ]

I miss you, too.

Can't go giving up already . She isn't dead...
