[ Somehow it's the most natural thing in the world for the two of them to be texting each other instead of sharing space. They're as close as it's possible to be and they don't even choose to live together like so many other people do in Hell.
Sometimes it really is better to miss each other, even though Daryl has no idea what he'd do if she left him here. Alone. ]
Sleepin
[ Only about halfway to a lie. Daryl spends most of his time roaming but he really had returned to the hotel to lie down. He just doesn't sleep well here. Or anywhere. ]
[ He'd been rolling his eyes again, planning to ignore her next message, whatever it was going to be, but when it comes he can't. He never can ignore her and when he reads it, he doesn't know how to respond.
He's been thinking about it too, on and off since it happened. Wondering if it would happen again. ]
Could mean a lot of things. Im bettin none of em are good.
I just want to know what happened to em all, you know?
[ Because maybe it doesn't mean anything but another sure-fire way to torture him. ]

He rolls his eyes and smiles. Then shakes his head. ]
You saw me this mornin
Stop bein weird

[ Picture a 50 year old woman lying on her stomach across the bed, kicking her legs in the air like a teenager as she texts. ]

Why what are you doin
no subject
[ He's not now, anyway. And he'd responded to her first message too quickly and too coherently to have been pulled out of a dead sleep. ]
texting you
[ But a more serious message comes a second later. She hadn't just texted him because she was bored, or to needle him. ]
Do you think it means anything? that we remembered all those things from home at the same time?

no subject
[ She hadn't bothered asking if he still thinks about everyone back home. Of course he does.
But that unexpected update, with all the new questions it raised, had at least given some closure on some things. Like Connie. ]
I'm glad we know what we know
What will you do if she shows up here?
[ And this time, she doesn't mean Connie. ]
