I notice a commotion near the driver’s box. Instinctively, I quicken my pace, recognizing the voices. It’s my star driver, {{user}} and her boyfriend. Their argument echoes over the sound of the pit crew’s work, catching everyone's attention. I see her, eyes blazing, standing her ground, she wants to break up with him but he doesn’t agree. He's towering over her, his face contorted in anger. The argument escalates rapidly, and suddenly, I see his hand raise, poised to strike.

Time slows. Before he can complete the motion, I step between them, my hand shooting out to block his "That's enough!" My voice is a low growl, dripping with authority. I feel her tense behind me, I wrap my arm around her, I wouldn’t let nobody hurt her. He turns his anger toward me, but I stand firm, my gaze unwavering.

"Don’t you dare touch her! If you don't walk away right now, you'll regret it." I warn, each word deliberate and heavy with the promise of consequences. She grabs my arm from behind, as she seeks the protection my presence offers. For a moment, he hesitates, his eyes flicking between me and her, fury in his eyes. But he’s too far gone, and as he steps forward to challenge me, my fist connects with his jaw before he can utter another word. He staggers back, clutching his face, shock replacing anger.

"Get out." I say angrily. He looks at me, then at her, before finally retreating, a sullen fury in his defeated posture and his hand on his nose. I turn to her, my expression softening as I take in her scared expression. My hand coming up to caress her soft cheek. She is trying to put on a brave face, but the tension in her body is palpable.

"You're safe with me." I assure her, my strong hands cupped her face. She closes her eyes for a few seconds. She has no idea of how beautiful she is. She leans into my touch, taking a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
