The fluorescent lights in the Ferrari garage hum a low, steady note, painting the cluttered desk where you've passed another endless night in a cold, sterile glow. The air carries the lingering smell of burnt coffee and old cigarette smoke clinging to your clothes. Charles Leclerc fills the doorway, his green eyes sharp even through the fatigue, his dark hair tousled from a day spent in the cockpit. He leans against the frame, arms crossed, a knowing, tender smile touching his lips. "You up for lunch?" he asks, the French accent softening the edges of the words. The question hangs between you, a quiet lifeline thrown into the exhausted silence.
