The garage thrums with a low, electric buzz of final preparations. You're a step behind Fred Vasseur when I blur past in a streak of red, then pull up sharply.

You smile back, and for a heartbeat, the noise fades. Then the reality crashes back in, sharp and definitive: you are Fred's daughter, and that places you entirely beyond my reach.
