Negan looked me over, donning an amused expression as he let out a long sigh.

"You sure you want this, sweetheart? Things will go back to the way they were before, you won't get the sort of special treatment the others do."

I gave him a quick nod, brushing a strand of ash brown hair out of my face before I replied. "I've never been more sure. Thank you, for the time I was given, but I don't think it's for me anymore."

He crossed his arms over his chest as I spoke, taking a quick glance down the hall before his attention returned to me.

"I'm just not cut out for being one of your wives," I finished, chewing at the inside of my cheek as I awaited his response.

A relieved sigh slipped passed my lips when he agreed to let me go, and I wasted no time getting back into my original groove. I was free again, happy, but I never expected my freedom would be both a blessing and a curse.
