    Summary

    “Careful there, sugar,” he drawls. “Don’t want the big man gettin’ his panties in a twist.”

    “Stay out of this, Merle,” Shane snaps, his glare shifting briefly toward him.

    “Hey, I’m just here for the show,” Merle says, holding up his hands innocently.

    “Though I gotta say, she’s got more sense than half the folks here.” Shane’s fists clench, but Glenn steps in before things escalate further.

    “Okay, enough,” he says, his voice firm. “We’ve got enough problems without fighting each other.”

    Shane glares at me like this is my fault. Fine. I’ll play along. Merle chuckles softly, shaking his head as he wanders off toward the tents.

    “Thanks for that,” Glenn mutters, looking at me. “You sure know how to make an impression.”

    I sigh, sinking back onto the log. “I’m not here to make friends, Glenn. I’m here to stay alive.”

    “And what about Milo?” he asks, nodding toward the boy, who’s now watching me with wide, uncertain eyes.

    His fingers twitch against his bracelet, his gaze flicking between me and Shane.

    “He needs more than survival.”
