I spent years feeling unsafe-completely vulnerable to death, disease, or Zombie-ism. And here, out in the relative open with only glass and rusted metal to shelter me, while three boys with limited ammo and a pure, focused goal to protect us and their baby sister, I felt absolutely safe and cared for. ***
Seriously...why are zombies not real? At least why are Rachel's zombies not real and why are her characters not either? If the zombie apocalypse were to take place this second, I am gathering my possessions and off in search of the Parker brothers. Yes, this cougar will need them if I want to survive. Or in the least have something cute to look at. Right?
This episode was probably my favorite so far. Even though you won't find one single zombie in it...it was by far the most romantic. Did it really take us getting Haley's POV for Higginson to show us that Haley and Nelson are the obvious romantic ones of the group? Don't get me wrong, I adore Reagan. But after a certain little scene towards the end of this one, I have a bad feeling. And it has something to do with Hendrix, Vaughan, and hinting at a possible love triangle. Oh dear.
Another fabulous episode that is sure to please all of its followers. You haven't read this short story series yet? ((le' gasp)) You must. If you are a fan of romance and zombies (who isn't?) then you are missing out. I am on constant stake out when it is due to release. I have to have my LOVE & DECAY zombie fix. And it is a fix only Higginson can provide.
Fav quotes...
You are a good girl, Haley. And if you fell into my lap, then it's not by luck but by pure act of God that you're with me now. So instead of looking at you like a fluke, I'm probably going to look at you like a gift. Like you walked into my life, not just as someone who will help my family survive, but as everything I've ever wanted in a girl-everything I've wanted for me.

"I'll go slow," he promised and my mind went silent- the entire jumble of thoughts disappeared immediately so I could listen with perfect attentiveness to all his soul-aching promises and sexy as hell voice. "I'll let you catch up at your own pace."
