…his voice sounded harsh even to him, “Yeah Hun, coffee, black. Thanks.”
He was caught by surprise when no sooner were the words out of his mouth than a small pale hand covered his. He immediately looked up and into the face of a sweet and sexy looking blue-eyed blonde. She smiled when she said, “Don’t call me Honey, okay? Please. I’m Beth.”
He had never seen anybody cry over coffee before. If he had, he would have laughed at them. It’s just coffee. What’s the big deal? But, he isn’t laughing and it wasn’t just anybody. It was her. It was Beth. And, she used to love coffee and she had missed it so bad. And, now she had some. And, this was a big deal.
A late-night talk around the fire leaves Beth confessing a deep secret to Daryl, and he promises he will do everything he can to help her. In the midst of this revelation, he starts to understand his true feelings for Beth.
Daryl’s been around enough drunks to know which one people will likely be and he’s hardly ever been wrong.
Before that bottle of moonshine that had burned even his tongue he had never seen Beth Greene completely wasted.
And it was, honestly, the best thing he’s ever seen.
It was something so simple; an innocent gesture.
But it was the beginning of everything.
“A year ago we stayed up till 3 am talking, and today I don’t know how to even say hey.”

A historical Bethyl one shot set in Texas in 1836.
What changed my mind? You, you ridiculous beautiful girl, with your heart and soul shining around you like a damn angel. Do I really need to say it?
The tables are turned and once again fate, with a little help from their friends brings Beth and Daryl together.
Daryl wasn’t sure when it was he’d made the mental note that Beth loves tinned peaches, but he had, squirreling it away in the back of his mind with other important facts like don’t wipe your ass with poison oak. From that moment on he was on the lookout. His eyes subconsciously zoned in on tins and he checked every label, even detouring down the canned goods aisle when they were on a run for something else. Just in case.
