Taking a chance on a stranger in a world like ours can go either way, but assuming the worst of someone is always your best bet.

Taking a chance on a stranger in a world like ours can go either way, but assuming the worst of someone is always your best bet. Ive been let down too many times by people who wanted to take my possessions or my life, and trusting an unknown these days comes with too many risks. Lower your guard for a minute, and it could all be over—especially when you throw in roaming corpses with their insatiable hunger for human flesh.
Theres no danger with Liv, though. Something about her feels like home and putting my life in her hands comes as naturally to me as breathing. I trust her; I rely on her, and after less than a week in her company, Im falling for her. Weve outrun a gang, escaped the city she called home for the past ten years, and now were heading into unfamiliar territory.
Were driving from one side of the state to the other in search of a house shes only ever seen in a magazine spread. It feels like an unattainable goal with too many speed bumps along the way, but Ill go anywhere as long as shes with me. Ill fight for her. Ill die for her. But most of all, Ill do whatever it takes to live for her.
I want to turn this into something, make a life for the two of us in a world where that just shouldnt be possible anymore.
Im sure well meet new people on our journey—Im counting on it—but no matter how many others join us, Liv will always be my number one.
