*Spoiler Alert!* This story contains spoilers from season 5-6 so don't say I didn't warn you! Carol and Daryl have been reunited once again after Carol breaks the group out of Terminus, but something is different about her. She is getting more and more independent and Daryl would be lying if he said he didn't notice and that it wasn't affecting him. Will Carol continue to close herself off to the point where she won't even need Daryl anymore? Or will Daryl cut in just in time to stop her from getting to that point?
