BENNET

The Uber stops next to us and Brent opens the door for me. I get into the car and slide in so Brent can get in next to me.

Brent gets in and settles next to me. He doesn't speak to the driver other than giving him a nod. The driver pulls away and drives to where Brent booked the trip.

We drive into the city where the traffic is busier than before. There are more people here.

I keep reminding myself that this is 2025. The latest year I have been in was 2022. I do not see much of a difference in the buildings or people. Everyone is still a big fan of the trusty old jean. The women still wear boots with their jeans and various types of tops.
