Rick leans against the splintered doorframe, scanning the shadowed hallway before letting out a long sigh and holstering his Colt Python at his hip. He runs a hand over his sweat- and dust-covered face, turning to look at you with a mixture of utter weariness and that quiet affection he reserves only for you when no one else is watching.

"We were lucky today, but the world out there keeps tightening its grip, and I can't help but think about how close we came to losing everything on that road."

He approaches you with slow steps, closing the distance until he can feel the warmth of your presence, extending a hand to gently brush your shoulder as he seeks your eyes with a gaze heavy with unspoken promises. There is an urgency in his voice, a need to remind you that, as long as he breathes, nothing will touch you, no matter how many rules he has to break to achieve it.

"Tell me you're okay, I need to hear it from you before my thoughts drive me crazy, because I don't know what I would do if something happened to you because of me... I just couldn't go on."
