Of course Sophia. It was easier to be without her back home because Sophia was too sweet to survive in that world. Here, she could have. (It would never occur to her to ask for Sophia to be brought here because she couldn't bear for her daughter to see how she is now. But a picture, that feels safe enough, something to remember other than a walker wearing Sophia's rainbow shirt getting its head blown off and landing akimbo in a pile of decaying corpses.)

Daryl's expression pulls her out of that unpleasant reverie and she smiles at him, both reassurance and gratitude. Daryl barely knew Sophia yet he worked harder to find her than anyone else, and did more to bring Carol back from the brink of giving up. She never did figure out exactly why, but it doesn't especially matter. He did so much -- does so much -- to make her okay when by all rights she shouldn't be, that's what's important.

"I'll think about it." She will. Just not right now. "Do you know what you're asking for next time?"
