Chapter 13: Emergency Broadcast
Upstairs in the shower, Winter thought about what Ava had said in the backyard.
After they had got done disposing of all the walkers, he decided on heading upstairs to take a cool shower. His thoughts were running amok and he needed to get them straight.
Winter entered his room, then headed into the bathroom and undressed before stepping into the shower. He turned the knob gently, allowing cold water to stream from the shower head.
A chain of questions began coursing through his head, trying to understand what happened. 'What'd she mean by that?'
'She was probably joking.'
'There's no way she meant that, right?'
Each thought, confused himself more and more, until eventually he refused to dwell on it.
After showering, Winter opened up the shower curtains and dried himself off with a towel. He exited the bathroom, applied lotion then got dressed.
When putting on his shirt, there was a knock on the door. Pulling his shirt down, he walked over to the door and opened it.
On the other side of the door stood Ava. She gazed into his eye, looking away about half a second later.
"I didn't mean what I said out there." She said in a hushed tone, clearly embarrassed by her actions.
