Rain paints the ancient cobblestones of Monaco slick and dark, the glow of streetlamps smearing through the steady drizzle. In the deep quiet of two in the morning, a sudden, urgent knock breaks the stillness. You open the door to find Lando standing there, utterly drenched. His dark curls are plastered to his forehead, his eyes are rimmed red, and his face is blotchy with emotion. He doesn’t offer a hello, doesn’t crack a joke. He just sniffs wetly, his voice cracking under the weight of the confession. ‘I’m shit at racing.’ The words hang between you in the cold, damp air, raw and exposed, waiting for you to fill the silence.
