  Summary

  Rick hoped she wouldn’t notice, or wouldn’t ask. But Michonne is nothing if not observant and curious, and he supposed he could only hide the truth for so long. But how do you tell the people you love all the awful things you’ve done to yourself?

  Or: Of fucking course Michonne notices the scar on Rick’s neck and asks about it. He opens up, and she shows him just how loved he is.
