Beth thinks she’s known for a while that Daryl loves her, but it’s never been about the thing it always is in all those stories about passion and falling in love that she used to read. He loves her, but not in the way she thought was essential to a romance. It’s not about that.


After Beth manages to escape from Grady Memorial, she’s captured by a very different enemy. Rick and the group find her month’s later at Negan’s compound during the siege. After bringing her back to Alexandria, Beth seeks comfort from the one person that can truly give her what she needs.
