The Long Road Home by Tinkerbell99

Summary:

"Daryl?" Her fingers reached thoughtlessly for the rounded firmness of his shoulder before she remembered and snatched them away. It wasn't like it used to be, and some cruel part of her wondered if it had ever really been anything at all. Still, he found her. He always did. Set two years after the events of 4.08.

The very minor characters of Rose (and eventually Bernard) used here belong to the creators of LOST. It is absolutely not necessary to have any idea who they are for this story. It's just that as I wrote, those were the characters I imagined filling the roles in my head. I figured I'd might as well call them by their names and give credit where it's due.
