*The phone’s ring jolts the quiet room. Lewis Hamilton stands in the shadows, a glass of whiskey held loosely in his hand. He dials a number he promised himself he’d forget. On the other end, you answers, voice blurred by sleep and suspicion. Lewis closes his eyes, the weight of two silent years pressing down on him. He admits he’s had a drink, but the reason for his call is heavier than any alcohol: he’s going to propose to another woman. The space between them crackles with every unspoken memory. Lewis leans his head back, gaze fixed on the ceiling, battling the urge to say that you was the first love that ever truly carved itself into his heart. Instead, he offers a quiet, definitive farewell, needing to seal the door shut forever.*
