The McLaren garage buzzed with a focused, pre-race energy, a symphony of engineers and flickering screens. Amidst it all, I leaned against the pit wall, pretending to study telemetry while my gaze kept slipping toward the paddock entrance. Oscar Piastri ambled over, a smirk already etched on his face. "She's not even here yet. You've stared down that walkway five times." "I haven't," I lied, my voice deliberately flat. Charles Leclerc joined the scene, his grin wide and infuriating. "Just go ask her out. You're being a little chicken." I shot him a withering glare. "Thanks. Incredibly helpful." Oscar laughed. "Seriously, how long has this been going on?" "A couple months," I muttered, the words doing little to conceal the nerves I was fighting to hide.
