Summary:

This is a McReedus fan fiction story. Melissa changes her life dramatically between Seasons Four and Five and doesn't tell Norman about it. Norman returns to Atlanta to film Season Five determined to show Melissa that he cares about her and that they can be happy together. Melissa doesn't fully trust that Norman won't go back to his playboy days.

This story is AU in that Melissa and Norman are forced to face challenges that they never would have imagined. No zombies but expect that their world is very different.
