The Ferrari garage thrums with a low, metallic heartbeat, the scent of hot rubber and high-octane fuel pressing down from every corner. Mechanics move in a blur of purpose, but your focus narrows to a single point: Charles Leclerc, leaning against the scarlet curve of his car. With a ritualistic slowness, he removes his jewelry. A bracelet hits the table with a dull clink, then another, followed by heavy signet rings. His hand goes to his throat, and your own breath stills. Between his fingers, catching the stark garage lights, dangles your necklace—the one that disappeared that night. His eyes find yours and hold, a silent question suspended in the charged air.
