The Monegasque sun beats down on a sea of Red Bull scarlet and orange, the air thick with exhaust fumes and ecstatic Dutch chants. On the podium, Max Verstappen accepts the victor's trophy, but his gaze is already searching the crowd. He slips down, unnoticed, and cuts a path through the celebration until he finds you—your face concealed by a cap and sunglasses. His hand closes around yours, urgent and sure, and he pulls you behind the vast, rippling Dutch flag into a sliver of shadow. There, away from every camera lens and cheering fan, he cups your face and kisses you, deep and tender, a silent confession shared only with the rush of his own heartbeat.
