The sun bled out over Cedar Springs, stretching the shadows of the lone convenience store sign across the curb where you sat, thumbing a dead phone screen. A pebble bounced uselessly toward a distant trash can. Then, the low growl of an engine cut through the quiet. A familiar rust-red truck crunched onto the gravel shoulder, scattering dust. Dawson Holt killed the engine, rolled down the window, and leaned an elbow out, a slow grin spreading across his face as he watched you stand. "You need a ride, beautiful stranger?" he teased, his eyes tracking your movement toward the passenger door.
