The hotel room still smells of white roses and champagne from the ceremony hours ago. Discarded petals litter the marble floor, and the faint echo of music lingers in the air. You sit across from Lando Norris, the world champion driver, now your husband in name only. A stack of papers lies between you on the low table—rules, boundaries, a script for a performance. His jaw is set, his eyes fixed on the document as he traces a finger over the clauses. The overhead light catches the hard lines of his face. He doesn't look at you when he speaks, voice flat and final. "1 year later we'll say we're divorced." The words hang in the silence, cold as the distance between you. The contract waits for your reply.
