Last episode left the pair of survivors separated and in potentially dire straits. Right at their closest moment they were torn apart, but was it leading to romance, or are fans reading too much into it?
1. Season 4 premiere
Beth’s boyfriend just died on a supply mission, yet Daryl is the one who seems to need a hug in the season four premiere of The Walking Dead, “30 Days Without an Accident.” By this point Beth is used to death, and barely cries. Characters all mourn differently on The Walking Dead, and here the younger Beth actually seems more emotionally mature than the likely emotionally stunted Daryl, who grew up abused and without many of the usual rights of passage kids go through.

2. On the run together
Daryl and Beth get their first real time together in the season four episode “Inmates.” She’s clinging to any reason for hope, while Daryl has given in to despair. This shows they both have the will to survive though, as they run and run together to the point of exhaustion.
3. Hiding in the trunk
When they aren’t running for their lives together they’re hiding, sometimes all night in a car trunk, with weapons at the ready as legions of zombies creep by. This scene from “Still” is one of the scariest in the series, but it does look kind of cozy in there!
4. Camping
In The Walking Dead zombie apocalypse, this is domestic bliss!
5. A rocky start
You think she’d get in trouble for giving him attitude like that, but things are just beginning to heat up!
6. An emotional hug
They’ve both lost so much, and after a fun drinking game turns into an explosive argument, they let it all out. Beth may be the one hugging him again, but unlike the emotional detachment of the previous hug, this one has some serious feels.
7. Burning the shack
One last emotional release, they light the fire together.

It’s during a more somber emotional moment, but this is when the cuteness factor really starts to ramp up!
11. Piggyback ride
OK, surely is doesn’t get any cuter than this?
12. Over the threshold
Carol who? Even actress Melissa McBride must be rooting for a Daryl and Beth romance at this point!
13. Music soothes the savage beast
NO ONE else can make Daryl Dixon feel this relaxed.
14. An unlikely pair
Daryl was the quintessential bad boy from a broken home, and Beth the all American girl next door. Maybe that match up isn’t so unlikely after all, but they’ve both changed a lot since the zombie apocalypse, and admit that they give each other hope.

25. Fan art
The fans are ready! Beth seemed honestly surprised when Daryl confessed she had given him hope, and it surprised me too, I felt so sure in the moment she was trying to coax it out of him. Neither one of them may have been looking for romance, but sometimes you can’t help who you fall in love with! If you have any more good pics feel free to link them in the comments!
