The dim light of the paddock hotel room spills across the unmade bed, catching the sheen of carbon fiber on the Red Bull suit draped over a chair. A faint scent of rubber and sweat lingers.

The words hang, cold and final. But you know the crack in his resolve—the way he waits for your hands to find his waist.
