WHEN MARCIE WOKE UP, DARYL WAS SITTING OUTSIDE THE TENT, CLEANING HIS CROSSBOW,

She stepped out, sitting next to him to slip on her boots, "Thanks, again." She stated, tying her laces,

Daryl glanced and her before grunting which Marcie took as a 'you're welcome' before standing. She went over towards Carol and Vivian, who were hanging up the wet laundry as Liam coloured in his book on the bench,

Vivian smirked at her as the younger girl sat down and grabbed a basket of dry clothes to fold, "Was that Daryl's tent I just saw you come out of?"

Marcie rolled her eyes, "I didn't have a tent to sleep in and he offered."

"Did he offer a spot in his sleeping bag as well?" She wiggled her eyebrows at her,

"Oh, shut up." Marcie threw a pair of boxers at her and Vivian laughed,

"I can't believe I slept in." Lori sighed as she walked over to the girls,

"You must have needed it." Vivian responded, hanging up one of the t-shirts in the pile,

"Feeling all right?" Carol asked her,

She didn't answer, only going to the laundry basket to grab more clothes, "Next time wake me, all right? Especially on laundry day."

"We can manage." Marcie stated, folding the dry clothes and separating them into piles,

"I had an idea I wanted to run by you." Carol spoke up,

"What's that?"

"That big kitchen of theirs got me thinking. I wouldn't mind cooking in a real kitchen again. Maybe we all pitch in and cook dinner for Hershel and his family tonight." Carol offered, "Kind of looking for things to keep my mind occupied."

"That sounds like a great idea, Carol." Vivian gave her a soft smile,

"After everything they've done for us, seems like the least we could do." Lori responded,

"You mind extending the invitation?" Carol asked the other mother, "Would just feel more right coming from you."

Lori raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"You're Rick's wife." Marcie spoke up with a grin, "It sort of makes you our unofficial first lady."

"Morning, guys. Let's get going. We've got a lot of ground to cover." Rick called out as he walked past the camp.

Daryl walked over and placed a hand on Marcie's back, "C'mon."

Marcie reached over to rub Liam's hair before standing up, "Duty calls, ladies."
