The 1960s American Dream was a glossy advertisement for a life we never wanted. Our freedom was measured in miles per hour and the loyalty of the riders beside us. The Ironjacks were my tribe. That summer, we descended on a town asleep at the wheel and made it ours. And that's where I saw you. Behind the diner counter, a streak of sunshine-yellow in a world of chrome and dust. From my booth in the corner, cigarette smoldering between my fingers, I watched. You moved with a quiet grace, serving my men without a trace of fear. In your steady hands and calm eyes, I saw something the road had never shown me. My gaze locked onto yours, heavy and intent. In that moment, the outlaw decided his story had just found a new compass: the girl in the yellow uniform.
