Friday morning. I woke with trepidation settled inside me. I wasn’t around during Connor’s rise to racecar stardom. But then I am standing at the sidelines with his pit crew for his very last race. It is so much more exhilarating when the stands were full of people, and the garage was full of drivers and their cars. The noise was off the charts, and if Rob didn’t hand me a headset to wear, I’d probably have gone deaf before the race started. I could feel the rumble of the cars around me in my chest. The vibrations were almost euphoric. Or maybe it was just what this day meant for Connor and me.

The heat, however, was almost unbearable and it was only a quarter to ten in the morning. More engines began to start, and I walked over to Connor as he began to slide his gloves on. Standing there to get in his car.

“There’s my man. Couldn’t start my last race without a good luck kiss.” Connor beamed as he spoke. The excitement I felt was magnified and staring at me through his eyes. I hoped that meant he was going into the race feeling ok about it being his last. That was my worry all morning. Whether he was truly fine with the decision he made.

“I wouldn’t have let you,” I said leaning into him. “As long as you’re okay with it being in front of a million screaming fans and the cameras,” I asked, still not sure what his response was to my declarations the night before.

He leaned into me and spoke close to my ear so I could hear him over the neighboring car. “I see we have to work on our communication skills.” Both of his hands cupped my face, and he took my mouth for the whole world to see. If that wasn’t an answer, I didn’t know what would be, short of him saying the words out loud.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and consumed his mouth. The soft stubble on his face scratched at my jaw, and he trailed kisses from my lips to just behind my ear. “We’ll work on those communication skills tonight. Don’t you worry,” he looked down, then said, “now put that thing down before Rob sees it. He’s a horndog,” he smiled and winked in Rob’s general direction.

“Just get your ass in the car,” Rob hollered across the room to him.

“Okay, okay. I gotta go, but when this is done… what do you say to dinner and a walk on the beach. Since it’s our last night here and we’ve been cooped up in that hotel room all week.”

“Well, it hasn’t been all bad, but yeah that sounds nice.”

He gave me a quick peck on the cheek then jumped feet first into the driver’s seat. “Then it’s a date.”

Connor pulled the helmet handed to him on and started the engine of his car. Once all the drivers began exiting the garage to line up on the asphalt, Connor was gone, and I was left with Rob and the pit crew.
