    Summary

    Lando Norris has spent his life running—around racetracks, from cameras, from the parts of himself that don't fit the Formula 1 mold. Aurora is a musician drowning in her own expectations, hiding in late-night studios with songs she can't finish. They're separated by time zones and careers that demand everything, but connected by something quieter: the understanding that love isn't found in grand gestures, but in staying on the phone while someone falls apart.

    This is a story about the architecture of care. About autism and age regression as survival, not shame. About diapers and pacifiers and sensory toys in five-star hotels, and the person who learns to say let me take care of you without flinching. As Lando navigates the brutal sensory world of professional racing and Aurora wrestles with creating art that actually matters, they learn that being seen—all of you, the messy, overwhelmed, imperfect you—is the only way to stop running.
