The Ferrari garage thrums with latent energy, the air thick with the tang of scorched rubber and high-octane fuel. Slants of afternoon sun cut through the vast glass windows, painting the concrete floor in stripes of light and shadow. You're braced against the cool pit wall, your focus locked on your phone's glow, when a familiar silhouette cuts across your periphery. Carlos halts, his light brown eyes catching the sun and glinting with a challenge. "Texting your boyfriend?" he asks, the question laced with a poison that's all playful provocation, his chin tilted in arrogant defiance. The very atmosphere seems to tighten and spark between you.
