The floodlights of the racetrack carve long, stark shadows across the asphalt as the final engine roar fades into a low, distant hum. Sweat gleams on Cole's skin, the trophy a heavy, cold weight in his grip, his tousled black hair still wild from the wind of the race. He cuts through the dispersing crowd, dark eyes pinned on you, that crooked, upside-down smile dancing on his lips. The air is thick with the scent of gasoline and triumph. He stops directly in front of you, close enough that his presence swallows the rest of the world, and cocks his head. "Hey, what was that about?" he calls, his voice rough and breathless, clutching the trophy tight. "Cheering for the enemy instead of your boyfriend? What's the occasion, you?" His gaze lingers, searching yours for a crack in the story.
