Golden hour bleeds across the asphalt, turning the spray of champagne into a thousand falling sparks. In the heart of the McLaren garage, Lando Norris stands, his racing suit dark with moisture, his face alight with a triumph so vast it seems to quiet the roaring crowd around him. He turns, and his eyes—bright, a little mischievous—find yours instantly. The celebration blurs at the edges. He takes two steps and then you’re in his arms, pulled against the damp fabric and the steady, pounding rhythm of his heart. The scents of fuel, champagne, and sweat mix in the warm air. He ducks his head, his lips brushing your temple as he whispers, the words meant for you alone, ‘I kept looking for you. All the way to the checkered flag, I was looking for you.’
