The Monaco skyline glitters below, a thousand pinpricks of light against the velvet dark. The only sound is the distant hum of the sea and the fading synth of Kavinsky's Nightcall leaking from an open car door. Lando sits on the hood of his McLaren, knees drawn up, phone balanced in his palm. The screen glows, waiting. He stares at it, then at the city, then back at the screen. His thumb hovers over your contact. The silence stretches, heavy with everything unsaid. Would you answer if that call came through right now?
