Daryl was the emotionally damaged bad-ass, never much caring if he lived from one day to the next. Beth was the angel who came into his life to save him from everything he needed saving from, most of all himself and his self-destructive habits. Can she be the salvation that he never even knew he needed?
After a gruelling twenty-four hour watch at the prison, Daryl falls into a dream where he can touch Beth in all the ways he desperately wants to. But something about this dream is different, more vibrant. But he’s still Daryl, she’s still Beth, and this is all just a dream. Right?
There, in the woods, it was comfortable and easy to just be animals. They weren’t searching for anything anymore.
After Daryl goes through some pretty heavy shit, he gets reunited with Beth.

Lay Your Hands On The Left Behind
Daryl and Aaron find Beth on a scouting trip. It’s been months since Daryl left her seemingly lifeless body back at the hospital. She’s been surviving all alone with only a scraggly dog for company, and it will take Daryl’s help to help her adjust to life within the safety of ASZ’s walls.
The word hangs between them, suffocating and feather-light at the same time. The moment is too precious to last if he doesn’t say something, doesn’t do something. But he’s paralyzed, can’t even breathe…
Beth is very different. Fiercely independent, trying desperately to hang onto her father’s property in the Georgia countryside. On her own, a bit lonely, she comes across a drifter that goes by the name of Daryl.
When Beth came back alive, everything pretty was worn out of her. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t miss it. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t miss what she’s lost. And it doesn’t mean she doesn’t want Daryl to help her find it again.
When Beth finds herself a widow with two young sons to care for, she heads back home, to the farm she grew up on. Wanting to give her boys a good solid upbringing, she cant help but worry if she is making the right decision? Is she ruining her boys life? Will they be happy? And what about the neighboring farmer?
Beth is self conscious about her small breasts. Daryl makes sure she knows exactly how he feels about that.
