[ That's what he'd assumed, but Daryl looks down at the snow they're walking through for a little while in silence. There's nothing he can say to that because there's nothing he can do about it. Certainly not when they're both trapped where they are. He can't keep Judith and RJ from starving back home any more than he can help Gabe's predicament.

But Daryl is used to accepting a lot of things he can't change. It's bitter, but he's had the practice. ]

[ But he misses them. God, he misses all of them so much. ]
