As Carley was putting her arm through her purple vest, she heard a loud knock on the door. As she shuffled over to unlock the door, she slid her light purple vest over her long sleeve top and zippered it up three quarters of the way. As she slowly unlocked the door, there was a tall male figure in front of her staring back down at her. She soon realized that figure was the one and only Lee Everett. Her eyes lightened with joy, and her face showed a smile. Lee was the only adult in the group that she could really trust. She didn't have a problem with that. She always knew she had feelings for Lee at the start when she saved him from the walkers at the Drugstore. She never had the chance to mention it to him though.

"Would you like to come and eat, Carley?" Lee said, with a smile on his face. She nodded, having Lee lead them to the rest of the group that was eating the rations behind the RV. As she reached down to grab half of an apple, she noticed Clementine had the other half. As she looked at her, Clementine smiled and winked at Carley, mouthing: 'The apple is good.' Carley nodded her head to show she understood.

As Carley headed back to her room, she passed Lee who didn't have anything to snack on.

"Aren't you going to eat something? There's plenty left," Carley asked Lee, curiously. Lee looked over to the rations sitting on the table.

"Nah, I'm fine. I'd rather save the food for the rest of the group," he said, looking at Carley once he finished his sentence. She smiled. That's what Carley always liked about Lee. He cared for others before himself. She went back to head to her room, stopping in her path, looking back at the tall man.

"I need to talk to you, later." Carley said, looking back at Lee who was looking back at her.

"Okay, I'll catch up with you in a bit." Lee said back, smiling and heading to talk to Clementine. He watched Carley go back to her room. He watched as she walked up the stairs, and she ended up looking back at him and smiling. Lee felt warm inside. He felt different about Carley than he does with anyone else in the group. Lee smiled to himself, realizing he was in a better mood than before.

"Hey Clem. Was your apple good?" Lee asked Clem, kneeling on the pavement.

"It was good! Did you see Carley got the other half? I think she said it was good too." As Clementine said Carley, Lee warmed up inside again. There was just something about her that made Lee feel that way. After talking to Clementine, Lee headed up to talk to Carley. He went up the stairs, turning his head to see her. His eyes were caught on her emerald eyes. They were just so perfect.

"Hey Lee." Carley said, with little smirk on her face. "I just wanted to tell you that I think about you. A lot." Carley said, looking down at her feet afraid of what he would say.

There was a moment of silence, then Lee responded to Carley, "I think about you too," Carley looked up from her feet, her cheeks turning red. She didn't think Lee would feel that way about her because she wasn't sure if he was still hooked on his past or not.

"You should tell the group about your past so the group can hear it from you and not someone else," Carley said, looking at members of the group below her. "Just let the people that you trust know," she said, after a moment of silence between the two of them.

"I will. Thanks for looking out for me, Carley." Lee admitted, heading down the stairs.

"Oh Lee, come back when you're done, okay? I'd like to know what happens," Carley said before she lost sight of Lee going down the stairs.

"Will do;" he responded back, smiling and then heading back down.

There would be times where she couldn't get Lee out of her head. She really had feelings for him. She never had this feeling with someone before, besides Doug. But she tried her hardest not to think about him, about what happened to him. To this day, she still wonders why Lee chose her over Doug. Sometimes she wishes it would be the other way around.

Carley watched as Lee told the group about his past, individually. Moments later, he headed back up the stairs. "Wasn't so bad, was it tough guy?" She said, with a little giggle following. They both smiled, then Carley's smile fell. After seconds of silence, Carley added, "Our group is small," Lee had looked at her, watching the figures of humans below them, the humans they all trusted with their lives.

Lee hooked on with what Carley was saying. "You're small," and the edges of his lips curved up into a smile. She noticed what he said, leaning in and setting her hand on his shoulder to give Lee an affectionate kiss on the cheek.

"Don't call me small," she said, leaning back from him and winking. Lee felt even warmer inside, realizing he was probably blushing. He thought to himself, so she really does have feelings for me? After talking about everything the group responded with, Lee decided to go check on the group after minutes of talking. Before he left her, they both looked at each other, realizing they were growing a wonderful relationship between each other that no one could ruin.
