He has currently depression and. this story will be about how he overcomes it. So while the first chapter is a bit angsty, there will be enough fluff and romance afterward.

Someday maybe you would do some office work for a change.” “I’m hurt, Sam. Why try to make me more human? I’m just an archangel, standing in front of a guy, asking him to love him. With all and his ruling Hell and damning-souls side. It’s not much.” Sam slowly turned towards Lucifer. “First, you’re not standing in front of me. Second, stop quoting romantic movies.” “You love it.” ----- I wrote this story when I was on the road to recovery with my own depression so while I've never been in a mental hospital, I've had the experience of dealing with it. ------ Want to talk to me? jorieds-fof.tumblr.com/ Discord: JorieDS#4193

On the endless roads of America’s heartland, trucker Rook Dalton lives a life of silence and asphalt. But when a mysterious government container bursts open during a storm, he’s drenched in living silver — the Baptism of the Road. His veins glow like molten fuel, his heart roars like a diesel engine, and reality itself bends to his will. Now hunted by the inhuman Freight Hunters — black rigs that drive themselves, piloted by the Road’s shadow — Rook discovers he’s part of something larger than the highways he’s driven all his life. There are others like him, the Baptized, outcasts gifted and cursed by the living power beneath the asphalt. To survive, Rook must keep driving, mastering powers that twist physics and metal itself. Every mile takes him deeper into a hidden war stretching across America’s forgotten highways — a war between man, machine, and the living Road that demands loyalty or blood. But the more he taps the Road’s power, the more it consumes him. And if he can’t learn why the Road chose him, he’ll become just another engine in its endless, hungry machine. The highway never ends. The Freight Hunters never stop. And Rook Dalton must keep driving… or die

In the quiet suburbs of Denver, Colorado, David Henry is a 47-year-old Black mechanic—honest, hardworking, deeply faithful, raising his teenage nephew Jamal alone after the death of his sister. On a brutal October night in 2025, with only $43 left in his pocket after a long day at the garage, David spots a silver Mercedes spun off I-70 into a snowdrift. Inside lies a dying woman. Most drivers pass by in the storm. David stops. He smashes the window, keeps her warm with his only jacket, applies pressure to her bleeding head wound, prays over her, and stays until help arrives forty minutes later. The woman survives—barely—thanks to his quick thinking and calm presence. David drives home to Jamal, thinking the moment is over. He never asks for anything. He never expects anything. The woman is Elena Whitaker, 30-year-old only daughter of Harlan Whitaker, one of the wealthiest tech billionaires in America. She wakes in a private hospital suite surrounded by luxury she no longer feels connected to. When she learns the full story of her rescue, Elena tracks David down—not to repay him with money (which he quietly refuses), but to thank him face-to-face. What begins as gratitude slowly turns into friendship: quiet afternoons in his garage where she watches him work, shares coffee from a vending machine, and opens up about the suffocating weight of her family name. David shares stories of loss, faith, and the simple joys that keep him going. Against every imaginable obstacle, their bond deepens into love. Society refuses to accept it. Harlan Whitaker sees David as beneath his daughter—an uneducated mechanic with no place in their world of private jets and boardrooms. Racist trolls flood social media with vile comments. Class snobs whisper about “standards.” Tabloids twist the story into scandal. Protesters show up at the garage. David’s own doubts creep in—he fears he’ll never fit, that he’ll hold her back. Elena faces ultimatums from her father, betrayal from so-called friends, and the constant pressure to return to the life she was born into. Yet through every storm—literal and figurative—they choose each other. David’s steady faith becomes Elena’s anchor. Elena’s courage teaches David he is worthy of more than survival. They fight side by side: through painful rehabilitation sessions, tense family confrontations, courtroom threats over “appropriateness,” a shadow from David’s past that resurfaces, and moments when one or both nearly walk away. In the end, love wins—not because it is easy, but because it is chosen every single day. On the same snowy stretch of highway where it all began, David kneels with a simple silver ring he saved months to buy. Elena says yes. They marry in a small mountain chapel, surrounded by the few who truly see them. Harlan, finally softened by witnessing real devotion, walks his daughter down the aisle. Years later, David still works on cars. Elena still carries her family name but uses her inheritance for good. Together they build a life that proves grace doesn’t need wealth, status, or approval—it only needs two hearts willing to stop when the world keeps driving. Grace on the Highway is a 50-chapter, emotionally charged, faith-infused contemporary interracial romance about perseverance across race, class, and judgment. It reminds us that the greatest riches are found not in bank accounts, but in the quiet choice to see—and save—the person right in front of you.
