Maybe I was destined to be doomed. I didn't know it would take this long. He should've died then and there. And she should've minded her business. But neither of them did as they were told. And I wondered if anything would ever be fair in my life. I had walked for what felt like 800 miles. But it wasn't that much. But I knew it was a while. I got to a part of town that I hadn't seen. I guess it was a long time for me to be walking, cause it was sunset. I had been walking since noon. It must've been about 6 o'clock, cause it's winter, and the sun is nowhere to be seen. I'm just glad I wasn't back in the woods again. The only few buildings I had seen was a gas station and a convenience store. There were two cars at the gas station, and one at the store. One of them was a truck, it didn't seem to have a driver in it yet. I don't want to sleep out here tonight, it'd be best to go however far I can in the bed of the truck, and then hop off when I need to. Whether that be getting caught or falling out, so be it. I'm desperate, homeless, cold, and I could've been an orphan. I should've anyway.

In a town full of cowboys all Gertrude really wants to do is get out of town. Be something that gives her purpose and meaning but dreamers are fools and fools only get broken dreams.

When her past comes back to find out what he left behind matters only escalate and then finding out that her father is dying only adds to the anguish. Will Gerdies dreams ever become reality or really is she just a fool. *** I heard the smile in his voice, and I turned, wanting to see it. I'd missed it so much. For a brief moment, the way he looked at me, I could see he still had feelings for me. What was all that about. I asked. Just cowboy shit baby. I've seen that look before. I'm in trouble aren't I? Will you come down here please. She watches him dismount from the horse and step closer. It was the perfect image from her dreams. Just say it. He added in a teasing voice. Alright. Your incredibly thoughtless, pathetic and completely shallow. Don't be mean. I'm completely vulnerable right now. I smiled at the thought of how completely lucky I was.
