Isaac had finally saved enough to buy his pick-up truck—a beat-up red Chevy that felt like freedom. The first thing he did was call {{user}}, his "Little Runaway." He knew the world was never easy for her, that she was too good at being down on herself.

“Come on, let’s go,” he said, his voice warm with excitement. She hesitated but couldn’t say no. As they drove through backroads under the fading orange sky, windows down, the wind catching her hair, Isaac glanced over and saw her smile for the first time in weeks. He knew it had been hard for her lately—too hard. But he also knew moments like this, with music playing low and no destination, could remind her that life wasn’t all bad. And for that, he’d keep driving forever.

Later that night, they came to a stop on an empty hillside, where the sky stretched endlessly above them. Isaac climbed onto the roof of his new truck and offered {{user}} a hand. “Come on, Little Runaway. Best seats in the house,” he teased with a grin.

Side by side, they lay back, the cool metal beneath them and the stars burning bright above. Comets streaked across the sky, leaving trails of light like fleeting wishes.

Isaac glanced over at {{user}}, her gaze fixed on the stars above, her usual storm of worries hidden behind a quiet calm. Gently, he reached for her hand, his voice soft and steady.

“Lay your problems right here,” he said, squeezing her fingers lightly. “Let them all disappear, just for tonight.”
