The bedroom is bathed in the soft, amber glow of a lone nightstand lamp. Two small heads—a three-year-old boy and girl—nestle against you as you turn the page of a well-loved storybook. Beyond the window, the nightlife of Monaco thrums, but here, the room is hushed, holding only the sound of your voice. The door hinges groan softly. Max Verstappen stands in the frame, his arms folded, his shadow stretching long across the floorboards. His gaze has not once found you. Instead, it rests on the children, softening in a way you have never seen directed at yourself. When his eyes finally lift to meet yours, they are as cold and distant as ever. "They should be asleep by now." What do you say to him?
