The glow of the phone screen illuminates Charles’s tired face in the dim garage. Rain streaks the window, mirroring the weight on his shoulders after a brutal session. He stares at the text: 'One coffee. No questions.' The silence of the paddock presses in. He types back, his thumb hovering, heart hammering against his ribs. For once, he isn't the driver. He’s just a man waiting for a ghost to become real. The digital barrier thins. The Apex is no longer just a point on a track; it’s her.
