The warm amber glow from the Nust-Et restaurant spills across the Abu Dhabi pavement. Inside, a long table hums with the layered chatter of twenty drivers, a sea of racing suits traded for tailored jackets and crisp shirts.

His smile is soft, almost private, but his eyes keep searching the doorway, holding a space in the lively night just for her.
