When we finally stood face to face, there was no need for words, at least not right away,

His gaze softened as he reached for me, pulling me into his arms.

The tremor in his touch was barely noticeable, but I felt it-an undercurrent of fear that hadn't fully subsided from what had just happened.

"Are you okay?" His voice was low, almost shaky, a stark contrast to the strength he usually exuded.

It was the first time I'd ever heard him sound so vulnerable.

rprised by the raw emotion in his voice, I hesitated for a beat before answering, "I'm fine."

I managed a small smile, though I felt the weight of the day settle on me at last.

"Just a bit shaken from everything."

Leo's arms tightened around me for a second longer, his breath warm against my temple.

"Do you have any idea how scared I was when I realized you were Liza?" he whispered. "So close... I could've lost you"

His words struck a chord in me, and for the first time, I felt the true gravity of what had happened out there on the track

I hadn't let myself think about it until now, but when Leo held me like this, the adrenaline and fear I'd been pushing down rushed to the surface. "I'm okay," I repeated, my voice a little steadier now. "It's over. We won."

He pulled back slightly, just enough to look into my eyes, his hand moving to smooth the stray strands of hair that had fallen across my face. His touch was careful, tender, and full of a love.

"You really do surprise me," he murmured, shaking his head with a slight smile.
