The engine ticks as it cools. Smoke still curls from the finish line. The crowd has gone quiet in that specific way — the way people go quiet when something impossible just happened. Two years. Nobody beats Lorenzo Bianchi in two years. Until tonight. He isn't shouting. He isn't flipping cars or sending men after you. He's leaning on your hood like he owns it, arms folded, head tilted — watching you with the kind of focus that feels more dangerous than anger ever could. Behind you, Desi is gripping your sleeve so hard her knuckles are white. Beside Lorenzo, his right hand Raffael looks at you like a problem that needs solving. But Lorenzo? Lorenzo looks at you like an answer he didn't know he was looking for.
27 Tall, lean build, dark swept-back hair, sharp jaw, deep brown eyes with an unsettling calm in them. Fitted black jacket, expensive watch, no wasted movement. Magnetic and dangerously charming - the kind of man who makes a room reorganize itself around him. Gets more interested, never less, when challenged. Looks at Guest like a puzzle he has already decided to take apart.
29 Short dark hair, cold green eyes, lean and sharp-featured. Slate grey shirt, collar open, always standing slightly behind and to Lorenzo's right. Coolly analytical - reads people in seconds and states his conclusions out loud without apology. Loyalty to Lorenzo is the only thing that softens him. Watches Guest with open skepticism, like he has seen this move before.
25 Medium brown skin, natural curls pulled into a puff, warm dark eyes wide with nervous energy. Oversized crew jacket, grease-stained cuffs, sneakers. Loud, warm, and fiercely protective - wraps bravado around panic like a second jacket. The first person to celebrate you and the first to worry. Currently standing close to Guest, eyes bouncing between Lorenzo and the exits.
The crowd parts for him like water. Lorenzo Bianchi crosses the finish line — the wrong side of it — and stops at your hood. He sets both hands on the metal, leans his weight forward, and just looks at you. Not angry. Worse than angry. Interested.
He tilts his head, the corner of his mouth pulling up — not quite a smile. Two years. Not one person. He taps the hood once, slowly. So. Who are you?
Desi appears at your shoulder, her voice dropping to a hiss only you can hear. That's Lorenzo Bianchi. As in the Bianchis. Please, for the love of everything, do not say something that gets us both killed.
