Stephanie Plum was not like other girls that grew up in the Burg, they all had thoughts of finding that perfect man to settle down, make a home and have kids with. Not her though, she wanted to be Wonder Woman, wanted to fly. She tried once, jumping of the roof, she fell of course, but that did not stop her from still dreaming.
I'm down-folded on this roller coaster they call life
Keep trying to make it through the next turn,
knuckles white and holdin' tight
Her life has been just one roller coaster ride, what with trying to fly, then the Tasty Pastry incident with Joe, then her college life, her marriage, now being the Bombshell Bounty Hunter. Her life was filled with people that wanted to kill her, psycho stalkers and dead bodies. Throughout the course of all of this she was holding on to her independence, and what she wanted her life to be.
So here I go, (So here I go)
I'm takin' a curve
but I know that I'm never alone
I think of you, until you never let me go
Steph wanted a life different from her mothers and best friend. She hated the thought of staying at home, when the world was moving around. She wanted to go down a different path, not take the well-worn one. She knows that no matter what she does, or where she goes she will never be alone; there will always be one person that will stand beside her, and help her.
I feel connected, protected
It's like you're sitting right with me all the time
You hear me, you're near me,
And everything else's gonna be alright
'Cause nothin' can break this
Nothin' can break this
Nothin' can break this time
Connected
Connected inside
Ranger was the one person that let her be who she was, not who she should be. They had a special connection that could not be denied, she could tell whenever he was around. Steph just had to stand next to him and she felt safe, calm, wanted. When she is in trouble Ranger is the first person she turns to, he would never let anything happen to her, after all he is "not emotionally distanced" from her.
It's not an accident, the time we spent apart
But now we're so close
I can always find you right here in my heart
You given me somethin' I need
And I don't ever want it to end
Because of you, I know I found my strength again
They come from two very different worlds, lived two different lives, and had very different experiences and problems. Yet they need to go through all that to get to where they are now. They give so much to each other, things that they can't get from others. Stephanie gives love and laughter to Ranger, whether he is laughing at her or with her remains to be seen. Ranger gives her the protection and strength to fly.
I feel connected, protected

Whenever Ranger is around Stephanie know that everything will work out. Ranger listens to what she wants, gives his input and caution, gives her room to spread her wings, but will be there when she starts to fall. When she is in a bad situation she gains courage from thoughts of Ranger, as if he is standing right next to her throughout this ordeal.
Everytime that I breathe,
I can feel the energy
Preachin' out, flowin' through
You to me and me to you
Make your dream
Walk or stand
You are everywhere I am
Separate souls; Unified
No one else in my mind
When they are together everyone can see and feel the energy that those two share. The energy flows through them linking them together, one into the other. Steph can share her dreams with Ranger and know that he will try to help, so that her dreams can come true. They are separate souls joined together by respect, admiration, love, loyalty, trust and devotion. There is no one they value or cherish more.
You given me somethin' I need

Steph and Ranger have a love that is pure and strong, a love that many would kill to have. Yet they are both to scared to admit these feelings because the emotion is too great. They have not had much luck in the relationship department, and so they runaway. They need each other and when they admit that no one and nothing can break them apart for the are:
