Amanda was on the back of Daryl's motorcycle, examining the scenery. She looked up when she heard a singular honk. Amanda rubbed Daryl's back as he pulled over. Amanda and Daryl had a unique relationship. Amanda was okay sitting in silence and respecting Daryl's boundaries. Daryl was just grateful amanda didn't need him babysitting her.

Amanda smiled as she watched Dale climb out of the RV.

Dale walked over as everyone congregated around Daryl's bike, "road is blocked off. We need to move some cars." he said, "Daryl, you think you can find a path for us?" He asked
Daryl nodded, "yeah." he said, glancing in the rear view mirror at Amanda.

Amanda was wearing shane's baseball cap to protect her hair from the wind. She had on a long sleeve black t shirt and a forest green vest and faded blue jeans. She had a gun holster that wrapped around her waist and thigh. She offered him a soft smile, "You want me to jog ahead and make sure the path is safe?" She questioned

Daryl shook his head, "nah, just checking to see if you were alive back there." he chuckled
Amanda smiled and she looked up, locking eyes with Rick.

Rick was staring at Amanda and Daryl. Her being on the back of the motorcycle reminded him of when they rode the horse into Atlanta.

Amanda looked away from Rick and watched as Shane walked over. She smiled softly as Shane rubbed her shoulders. He leaned down, kissing the top of her head, "come scope out some cars with me. maybe we can find some stuff." he said

"That doesn't seem right." Lori said, "That's... stealing." she said

"Who needs it more? Us or them?" Amanda asked as she climbed off the back of Daryl's bike, "You don't have to help, you usually don't help out with much anyway." Amanda said, adjusting the laces on her boots.

Lori scoffed angrily, "I'm sorry, I don't see you doing laundry or cooking." She said as she crossed her arms

"Let's compare how many walkers we've killed. You go first. How many?" Amanda asked, watching as Loris face turned red with anger, "None? I figured. So let's see what's more lethal. A hungry walker or a dirty shirt?" Amanda said, walking closer to Lori, "Exactly." She said as she stood a foot away from Lori.

Rick and Shane watched, on edge, not sure when to intervene.

Lori yawned, placing her hand over her mouth, showing Amanda the wedding band on her finger.

Amanda laughed, shaking her head, "You're funny." Amanda said, her jaw clenching, "I mean, if you really wanna argue, we can argue." Amanda said, stepping closer, "You know what arguments lead to? Fights. I don't think you compare to me. In any aspects." Amanda said, "Let's see who lasts out here the longest, the girl who runs her whore mouth or the one who actually does shit." Amanda continued

"Which are you?" Lori asked her with a soft smile.

"Let's find out." Amanda smiled as she began unbuckling her holster, in preparation of a fair fight, since Lori had no weapons.

"Hey, Hey!" Glenn shouted, "enough. enough!" He said, "Lori, I think Carl is looking for you." He said as he watched Carl look around inside some cars, getting out of eyesight

"Carl!" Lori shouted, jogging over to him angrily.

Shane walked over to Amanda, "hey.." he said softly, reaching over to grab her arm.

Amanda yanked her arm away from him, "don't." she warned, fixing her holster. she fixed her baseball cap then inhaled deeply as she walked over to a car and yanked open the door.
