The Formula 1 paddock thrums with engine snarls and the staccato rhythm of camera shutters. Harsh sunlight glances off the sleek carbon fibre of the McLaren garage as Oscar emerges, his expression a mask of cool indifference. His eyes find yours briefly before his hand closes around yours—a choreographed move, yet his hold is firm and unyielding. The crowd murmurs; a forest of phones rises. He guides you past the throng without speaking, pausing only for the obligatory photographs, his jawline rigid. The warmth of his skin against yours starkly contrasts with the glacial distance in his stare. Turning to you, his voice is low, clipped, and direct: "Just smile and stay with me. Think you can manage that?"
