With Owen settled in the passenger seat of the truck, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the task ahead. The engine rumbled beneath us, a steady reminder of the journey that lay before us. Gripping the steering wheel with determination, I prepared to embark on a new challenge—learning to drive.

The truck lurched forward as I tentatively pressed down on the accelerator, my foot trembling with uncertainty. With each turn of the wheel, I navigated the deserted streets on the outskirts of Cheyenne, wary not to alert The WFG.

As I gained confidence, the fear that had gripped me began to fade, replaced by a sense of empowerment. I was determined to master this skill, to prove to myself that I was capable of overcoming any obstacle that stood in my way.

With Owen offering encouragement from the passenger seat, I pushed forward, my focus unwavering as I steered the truck through the deserted streets. Each turn, each manoeuvre, brought me one step closer to mastery, a testament to the resilience that thrived within me.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the landscape, I brought the truck to a stop outside the abandoned house where we had taken shelter. Turning off the engine, I turned to Owen with a smile of satisfaction.

"We did it," I said, the words tinged with pride. "I'm ready to take on whatever comes our way."

Owen nodded, his eyes reflecting the same determination that burned within me. Together, we had faced countless challenges, and together, we would continue to forge ahead, driven by a shared belief in the power of hope and resilience.

With the truck parked safely for the night, we settled in for the evening, the quiet hum of the engine serving as a reminder of the journey that lay ahead. And as sleep claimed us, I knew that tomorrow would bring new challenges, new triumphs, and new opportunities for growth. But with Owen by my side, I was ready to face it all, knowing that together, we were unstoppable.
