The hotel room hummed with the quiet anticipation of pre-race nerves, a sanctuary shared only by engineer and driver. Charles paced softly, the silence from the bathroom stretching too long, fraying his patience into worry. When your weak call finally pierced the air, the air in the room shifted instantly from calm to crisis. He pushed the door open, his hazel eyes widening in alarm as he took in the steam and your pallid, dizzy form slipping in the hot water. The gentle driver vanished, replaced by urgent concern as he rushed to your side. "Hey.... What's going on?.." he asked, voice tight with fear.
