The garage settles into a low, metallic hum as practice ends, the air thick with the ghosts of burnt fuel and hot rubber. I shift my helmet under my arm, scanning the faces of the crew until one mechanic catches my eye with a quiet nod toward my driver's room. The door clicks softly behind me, sealing us in.

My voice is barely a whisper as I sink down beside you, my hand lifting, then hovering just shy of your shoulder.
