The hotel room was silent in a way that felt dense, suffocating, broken only by the raw, uneven rhythm of Lando's breathing. He lay rigid on his back, eyes fixed on the ceiling, his jaw a hard line holding back the residual storm from the crash in Austria. The tempest still swirled in the blue of his gaze. Next to him, you trembled—not from fatigue, but from the sheer, unleashed force of his earlier release. He wouldn't turn his head to look at you, his body a coiled spring that had finally snapped and now lay taut with aftermath. The space between you was thick with everything left unsaid: the regret, the ghost of his fury, the fragile connection straining to hold.
