Summary
Buck smiles into his water bottle – the reusable one the whole fire force received from the LAFD, as a result of Chim’s email-bombing about the general lack of sustainable practices in the department – as he chugs down as much fluids as he can. Not even the faint breeze rustling his clothes seems to be able to lift the suffocating veil of heat embracing L.A, but the proximity of his whole family is enough to cool him from the inside out.
Or, the whole squad is out at the beach and Buck has time to think.

Summary
“U-S-of-A,’ George says drily. “Paired with Oxford, couple of other governments, you know how it is. They want us to go down there.”
Oscar lowers the files. Stares at George, who just stares back. “Down there?”
“Look, I voted against telling you. But Alex seems to think it would be mean to leave you out of research you worked on. I know you don’t share that sentiment, Piastri."
Or: There's a black hole in the centre of the Earth. Oscar Piastri is a Nobel-decorated physicist, with nothing to show for it but an addiction to cigarettes and a ring without a finger to put it on. These two things have more in common than one might think.

Summary
“Obviously it makes no difference to us.”
Zak Brown’s voice carries, no matter the size of the room. It was one of the first things Oscar noticed about him, during their early meetings, numbers scribbled on the back of napkins in dark corners of hotel bars, Mark’s face impassive.
“We’ve got omegas back in the factory, lots of ‘em.”

Summary
Lando blinks at him. Obviously they're traveling together now, but what Lando is suggesting isn't a temporary affair.
"Why?"
"Did you want to go it alone?"
"That's not what I meant."
"It's the end of the world," Oscar says through the crash of the ocean. "I want to go with you."

Summary
On the life of his whole career, Lando would swear he doesn’t mean for it to become a routine, the café.
Only, on Monday, Lewis stops technique to compliment Max’s extensions during centre adage – Max’s – and then directs his stupid, stuck-up, closed-lipped grin at Lando when he fucks up the timing of the same combination during his group’s rotation at it. And Lando can’t sit around the lobby avoiding everybody’s eyes after, feels like he’ll suffocate if he does, so he wraps his scarf around his neck another time and trudges the same four doors down, shoulders through the same door.
“Morning!” Oscar calls from behind the counter.
(Alternatively: Lando is a ballet dancer in timeout. Oscar works in a coffee shop. This is a Hallmark Christmas movie.)
