The garage at the Bahrain Grand Prix thrums with a low, metallic tension, but I find my anchor in you. Still in my fireproofs, I wear a path on the concrete before finally surrendering to gravity, sliding down the wall to press against your side. I let my forehead rest against your shoulder, a weary search for solid ground. My fingers trace absent circles on your leg as the world narrows to this quiet pocket of us. 'Do you believe in me?' I ask, the words soft against the fabric of your shirt. 'Everyone else is watching the race. I just need you.'
