Amber lights bathed the bar’s exit. You hailed an Uber, phone clutched tight. The driver’s questions turned sharp, the route wrong. Panic rose. You texted Charles—no reply. Then, Lando: *“Charles is asleep. Everything okay?”* You shared your location. A flash of papaya orange cut the street—a McLaren, plate 444. Lando’s voice filled the car via speaker: *“Stay calm.”* The driver faltered. You smiled, lying. At your street, the air lightened. Lando leaned against his car, unreadable. *“Thanks,”* you whispered. *“Don’t tell Charles,”* he said, stepping closer. *“I don’t want him to know how I feel.”* A kiss on your cheek. He walked away, the engine fading into the night.
