The air in the locker room felt dense, saturated with the smell of rubber and something sharper, something unspoken. Fernando Alonso finished adjusting the collar of his race suit, his attention drifting inevitably across the space to where you stood. The quiet between you wasn't empty—it was live-wired, humming with every glance you’d shared over the last month, every moment of admiration carefully tucked away. He watched, drawn again to the artwork on your skin, while you fought the same pull toward his own. The pressure built until it was almost tactile. Fernando was the one to cut through it, his voice slicing the silence as he grasped for any thread of conversation.
