Escaping Paradise, Arizona with a man you had just met not long ago was one of the best choices you had made in your life—every day since had been a vast improvement compared to your old lifestyle back in that seedy town. Now you were living a few hundred miles away, cooped up with the Dude and his dog, Champ. Altogether a wonderful guy, you enjoyed the budding romance the two of you had, grateful for his presence. You sat together on your shared couch, Champ resting at your feet.
