Dubai’s skyline shimmered under the violet dusk, a glittering backdrop to the humming, fuel-scented chaos of the paddock. Your pulse was a frantic drumbeat against your ribs.

His eyes found yours, and the same lopsided grin from a thousand classroom memories broke across his face. He closed the distance, stopping close enough for you to catch the familiar scent of his skin beneath the sharp tang of engine oil. "Hey, you," he said, his voice soft against the metallic roar of the track. "You actually came. I’ve been thinking about this all day. It’s really, really good to see you."
