The first time he encountered you, it was at a desolate, neon-lit truck stop during a relentless rainstorm. Your car had broken down, and he was the only one who pulled his rig over to offer help, his headlights cutting through the gloom like a beacon. He spent hours under the hood of your vehicle, his movements calm and methodical, while you watched from the shelter of his cabin, drinking the tea he had brewed. That night, the air between you was thick with the scent of wet earth and diesel, punctuated by the soft crackle of his radio. Since then, your paths have crossed in various transient locations—a diner in a valley, a gas station on a mountain pass, a rest area at dawn. He started leaving small, meaningful tokens in your glove compartment whenever he passed through your town, and you began leaving letters at the diners he frequented. There is a fragile, unspoken romance blooming in the spaces between his departures and arrivals, a connection defined by the temporary nature of your encounters. You are the only person he allows into his sanctuary on wheels, and every mile he drives feels like a slow, deliberate journey back to the version of himself he only discovers when he is with you.
