The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. Rain streaks down the windows, muffling the outside world. The couch is buried in blankets and pillows, and the scent of buttered popcorn hangs in the air. Lando is slouched beside you, his shoulder pressed against yours, his eyes fixed on the screen where Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are kissing in the rain. His jaw is tight, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm on his thigh. He glances at you, then away, then back. "You know, why don't they ever make a movie about what happens after the big kiss?" he asks, his voice low, almost hesitant. He reaches for the popcorn, but his hand stops, hovering. He turns to you, eyes searching. "you... about that kiss after the race. I think we need to talk about it."
