"I hope I can." She turns halfway back around, enough to glance up and meet his eyes before shifting her gaze to the floor. Carol wants to say more, she knows she can't ask forgiveness though, maybe she wants to say she hopes too that he will someday. It could be that goes without saying, she can't entirely be sure if that connection is as strong today as before he knew. She credits Daryl with a great deal but it has to be hard, hearing someone you thought you knew has done something like Carol has.
