Summary:

He shoved his hand in his pocket and ran his fingers over the folded edges of paper. Each bump and tear was familiar beneath his fingers, even with the softening of time and friction. Each time they lost someone, he’d catch himself with his hand in his pocket, checking it was still there, remapping each groove to make sure it matched his memory. He hadn’t opened it yet. Couldn’t. But the Big Spot run was weighing on him now, another stark reminder of their losses. He glanced up at the stars for the hundredth time that night. Maybe it was time to face it, once and for all. He pulled the note out of his pocket and braced himself.

Spoilers through Episode 4.1 "30 Days Without An Accident".

Caryl one-shot with a lot of Merle mixed in. Angst. I wrote this after seeing a gifset on tumblr of the Merle/Carol scene in 3.15 "This Sorrowful Life" - where Merle tells Carol she is a late bloomer, and she replies that maybe he is, too. Takes place after 4.1 "30 Days Without An Accident".
