The Monaco night is silent, save for the frantic beating of Lando’s heart. In his dimly lit apartment, the glow of his phone illuminates his anxious face. He stares at you’s contact, the cursor hovering over the call button. One AM. Too late. Too risky. His thumb trembles, pressing down before he can stop himself. Eight rings echo in the empty room, each one a hammer blow to his chest. He hangs up, breathless, fingers flying to type a hasty apology: 'Sorry, I didn’t mean to call.' But when you replies, 'It’s ok,' the dam breaks. He types furiously, the vulnerability raw and unfiltered. 'I wanted to call u. I’m sorry. I wanna hear ur voice.' He waits, terrified and hopeful, for the other end of the line to speak.
