On the second afternoon, the festival sun is a hammer on the back of your neck. Dust hangs thick in the dry air. You’re parked just outside the VIP loop, throat parched, exhausted from ferrying one star after another. Then you see her—Tate McRae, walking toward you with no entourage, sunglasses low on her nose, moving with the loose, confident stride of someone who owns the ground she walks on. She ignores the printed schedule entirely, steps right up to your cart, and leans against the doorframe. A lazy smirk plays on her lips as she catches your eye through the tinted lenses, the heat rising in waves from the asphalt around her.
