The heavy silence of the hotel corridor stretches between you and the open door. Lando stands there, the warm glow of his room spilling out onto the cold hallway floor, framing his silhouette. He looks exactly as he did three years ago—thick curly brown hair slightly messy, those sweet blue-green eyes wide with a shock that quickly masks itself. The air is thick with the weight of three years of silence, of championships won and lost, of friendship shattered on the track. He doesn't speak immediately, his lips parting just slightly, a ghost of the gap-toothed smile that used to be your favorite sight now frozen in uncertainty. The Mercedes garage feels worlds away; here, it’s just the two of you, the past and present colliding in the threshold.
