Tyler's life changes forever the day he gets lost in the woods.

It's not like he's really looking for it. This was all Sara's idea. She can see how stuck he is, how much he hates his job and how much he needs a break...even if he can't see it himself.

"You need to travel," she says over dinner. "You need to get out of Ohio. Take a road trip."

Tyler lifts his eyes, blinks. "A road trip?" He repeats.

"Yes! Y'know! Romance, adventure, the open road..."

When Tyler continues to stare blankly at her, Sara sets her glass down, leans forward across the table and puts her hand on his arm.

"Tyler, listen to me," she says. "You've lived in the same apartment, had the same job, and even have driven the same car for the past ten years. It's time for a change! Getting out of town is a great way to shake yourself free of all your old habits for a while. It'll be good for you, I promise! It'll make you see life from a whole new perspective."

"I like my perspective the way it is, thank you very much." Tyler protests as the waiter arrives to offer dessert.

Tyler declines, but Sara orders a piece of cheesecake and another glass of wine, and Tyler can't hide his smile. It's Sara's spontaneity and zest for life that makes her so appealing. She shakes him up, which she knows, and it's a good thing. Without her he'd be impossibly bored.

And boring, no doubt about it.

He's never been too sure why Sara hangs out with him, although he suspects in the beginning at least she had a serious crush on him. Once she found out he was gay, though, she seemed to let go of her disappointment without much difficulty and proceeded to take him under her wing, all but replacing his mother in his life.

Which Tyler appreciated, since his mother's death eight years ago left an enormous hole in his heart. Being a coddled only child could do that to a man, and losing the one person to whom Tyler meant everything had left an emptiness in his life from which Tyler wasn't sure he would ever recover.

"You've never even been out of Ohio, have you?"

Sara's question brings him out of his grief like the good friend that she is, and he stares blankly at her for a moment until he remembers.

"Yes, I have, as a matter of fact," he all but gloats.

"Oh, yeah? When? And Cleveland doesn't count," she adds, thinking she knows what he's about to say. "I mean, out of Ohio and its surrounding suburbs."
