"Why do I need this?" #zombie

Greg shrugs his shoulders as they arrive at the gate.  He gets out, cautiously looks around, and lifts the gate so that Deacon can pull the truck through.  Rejoining Deacon in the truck, Greg tells Deacon that there should be plenty of animals on the island to hunt.

As they pull back into Deacon’s driveway, Greg asks, “Why don’t you hook up to the trailer, and I will go get everybody.”

Deacon has Greg pull his car out first, getting it out of the way for a quicker retreat.  Deacon hooks up to the trailer and then goes in to start packing his belongings.  When he gets inside he finds that Lana and Jaimie had packed for him.  The next hour is spent filling the trailer and the bed of Deacon’s truck up.  Deacon turns to Jaimie and the girls asking them if they would like to ride with him.  He then has Jeff and Alicia ride with Greg and Lana in their car.  Deacon goes into the living room to get his calendar, on the end table next to where he had been sleeping the night before.  He picks it up off the table, and stands looking at it.  

He mutters to himself, "Why do I need this?  It isn’t going to bring her back.  All it is going to do is make me miss her that much more."  

Setting it back down on the table, he turns to walk out.  He sees Lana standing in the entryway.  He asks her how long she has been standing there. 

Lana tells him quietly, but tenderly, “Long enough, but you know this doesn’t mean you have to let her go.”

Deacon gives her a big hug, “let’s go.”
