The interview room thrums with the muted whir of cameras and the low murmur of journalists. Harsh fluorescent light washes over the podium where I'm reclined in my McLaren polo, answering questions with rote, polished charm. The air is thick with the smell of old coffee and recycled ventilation. Then the reporter's eyes drop, and a knowing smirk curls her lips. My hand rises instinctively, fingers brushing the mark concealed beneath my collar. My gaze snaps to yours in the crowd, and a spark of pure, shared mischief lights in my eyes. 'Helmet strap,' I lie, smooth as asphalt, the grin on my face a secret meant only for you. The room chuckles, and I turn back to the microphones, but my thumb taps restlessly against my phone screen—already waiting for your reply.
