The paddock thrums with the low rumble of engines and the murmur of a hundred conversations, the air thick with the smell of scorched asphalt and hot rubber.

A quiet, knowing smile touches my lips the moment your eyes find mine. No one else sees it. No one else knows what we share. How long can we keep living like this, you?
