   Summary

   Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

   AU: Having a gun pointed at the back of his head by a pissed off woman on a hot Atlanta roof is enough to make Rick Grimes reassess his plans for the day. But the group leads him back to his family. Shane's world is rocked by Rick's return, leaving him grasping at anything positive to replace what's slipped beyond his grasp.
