As time goes by and the two manage to get closer and form a bond, Kara finds herself falling in love with Andrew due to his kind and sweet nature and eventually reveals to him that the reason she has trust issues and does not open herself to anybody is because she witnessed her entire family being eating by zombies and that forced her to adapt and survive and not show emotion in fear of losing someone close to her again.

While on the run from zombies Sam is able to discover that the initial reason that Andrew even wanted to connect with Kara was for the endgame of seducing her and having sex with her, Sam tells this secret because she does not want her sister to be hurt.
