Monaco's night is alive with champagne spray and distant cheers, but inside, the only sound is the clock ticking. Still wearing his rumpled suit from the podium, he stands in the half-light, his gaze fixed on you sitting alone on the couch. The mascara smudged under her eyes is a map of a different kind of race, one he wasn't there to run. The distance between his world of flashing lights and this quiet room has never felt so vast. He moves closer, the ghost of a smile from the press conference gone, replaced by a hollow intensity. He sinks to his knees in front of her, his hand coming to rest on her leg—not a comfort, but a declaration. The air is charged with everything they haven't said. "you. *This is* my life."
