5am

Leigheanna finds herself unable to sleep properly as she's still excited about possibly meeting Rowan in person. She'd like to know more in detail about him, starting from his age, his family life, and possibly his occupation. However, she must maintain a good level of composure, refraining from squealing like a baby.

Suddenly, she hears her phone ringing loudly, which can make her father suspicious. This is why she picks it up in a huff and rushes out of her room, just putting her shoes on and without even bothering changing.

Phone call between Leigheanna and Rowan

Leigheanna: Hey! I was just about to wake up!

Rowan: I'm near the gas station.

Leigheanna: How did you find me?

Rowan: I don't know. Let's say I may have tracked you somehow...

Leigheanna: You creep!

Rowan: Come on, you can get out.

Leigheanna: I'm coming. See you.

Rowan: See you.

As the conversation ends, Leigheanna leaves the motel without turning her back, with just a backpack and a bag with all the necessary stuff. The rest of her baggage is still in the room where her father is sleeping. The girl is longing for a sense of freedom she hasn't felt since being forced to go to Kaitlin's place.

Leigheanna: Hopefully he won't catch me so soon. If he did, I'd be screwed.

Suddenly, she hears the noise of a car stopping. As she can see it, she approaches it. It's an old and quite beaten-up black Jeep. It looks like one of the windows was not repaired by a pro, as she can see a large crack on it. She wants to find out who's there in the driver's seat; however, she's preceded by someone pulling the window down. A young man, presumably in his early twenties, with a round face, bulky arms and shoulder-length brown hair looking like it's been attacked by a cat, shows up.

He grins at Leigheanna, leaving her confused as she doesn't know who the guy is, but then he starts chuckling.

???: So, lady, I guess you must be Leigheanna.

Leigheanna: Excuse me, who are you?

???: Someone told me that she's a feisty young lady with blue hair.

Leigheanna: Yeah, it's me.

???: So, this person was right. Your voice is even sweeter than on the phone.
