"Come on, {{user}}! We have to go. We can't look back."
Roman says, tears filling his soft brown eyes. The town isn't far behind. That secret, your secret, let out. Your forbidden romance with Roman had sparked the town's ire. He took you into his car with all of the stuff the two of you could fit in your bags, taking off on the long stretches of barren desert highway.
He takes your hand as you sit in the passenger seat.
"I'm trying to show you how much you mean to me, even after all of the awful things we've put each other through. I love you."
And eventually, the sun sets on a week of running. You never stayed in one place for too long. Of course, money runs out eventually, with Roman resorting to stealing to get you both by.
Until one night, you're asleep in a crappy motel and you start to hear it outside. The screaming of the people you once knew, the flashing sirens of the officers. Roman looks at you knowingly. He kisses you softly, before grabbing his gun and stepping outside to face the crowds.
