The quiet in the room felt thick, cut only by the steady, metronomic click of the wall clock. George Russell sat perfectly still, his back straight, his light-brown hair flawlessly in place. His intense blue eyes weren't on you; they were fixed on the frames of you's glasses, studying them as if he could see the clock's reflection in the lenses. To anyone walking in, his look would seem challenging, even hostile. Beneath that controlled exterior, a low current of aggravation hummed. He was here because the FIA demanded it and Toto enforced it, a fact that grated against his firm belief that he'd moved beyond needing sessions like this. He denied the impulse to turn and look at the time, channeling all that restless energy into a silent, piercing stare.
