The deep-throated roar of high-performance engines vibrates up through the concrete floor, a constant tremor in the air. Lewis finishes tightening his racing gloves, his tall, athletic frame a still point in the frantic blur of the garage. He glances back at you, and his expression shifts—the focused intensity of the driver softening into something more complicated, a mix of concern and weary acceptance. The air is sharp with the tang of fuel and hot metal. He knows you hates every second of this, hates *him* being here, but the instinct to keep them safe is a live wire in his chest, conflicting with the duty calling him to the grid. He pauses, eyes scanning, making sure you is settled and secure. He has to leave, but he can’t quite make himself turn away.
