Going my way? When you find yourself on some lonesome strip of road with no way to get where you’re going, you stick out your thumb and hope the kindness of strangers pays off. It's a hitchhiking meme. Find a lift or offer one.

top level

as a hitchhiker or a driver. or both.

Hitchers tell your potential driver where you’re heading and see if they're willing to make some room.
Drivers pull over and lay down some ground rules for riding with you.

on the hitchers you’ll stop for or the drivers you’ll hop in with.

Yeah. [She agrees with the assessment of her fictional boyfriend, and a weariness she directs instead at some of the Road's nastier assignments. The killer truckers who think she's another piece of easy prey, the ghost hunters snuffing benevolent road ghosts out of existence for one misguided reason or another, and the things that lead to her being dead in the first place.

She listens to the advice as she swaps out the jacket for a sweatshirt- something that would've been tricky when she'd first started.]

It's better than I've gotten from some teachers. [Again, the truth. There had been the ones who'd cared, but most were like any other adult in Buckley, writing her off as lost before she'd had a chance to find her way.] And as far as things strangers in cars could tell me to do, probably the best so far. You're a lot nicer than a lot of people would be to someone like me- [Mark it down for a holiday Jess, she really means it too. ] I won't take any more of your clothes, but I hear there's a really great diner up ahead, how 'bout a burger? [She can't see the neon lights on the horizon, but she can practically hear them buzzing, and if the Road didn't want them to stop, she wouldn't be this hungry.]
