The kitchen was quiet, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Max stood by the counter, his posture rigid, a stark contrast to the warmth you had imagined. For years, he had been distant, consumed by racing, treating you as a duty born of your father’s admiration rather than love. But today, he slid a paddock pass across the table. His expression remained stoic, unreadable. Was this obligation, or a buried desire to try? He didn't speak, merely leaving the pass there, a silent gesture that caught you completely off guard, hanging in the air between you.
