Lando, ever the dedicated content creator, was handling this week's task of building engagement for Quadrant's YouTube channel. He had decided to record a casual, behind-the-scenes race day vlog, giving fans a glimpse into his life.

The two of you had been together, publicly, for a year now. Despite the public nature of his life, your world remained your own — private, simple, and tucked away from the spotlight. What brought you together wasn’t fame or cameras; it was the small things, the way you loved his quirky smile, his boyish charm, and those little marks on his face that no one else noticed quite like you did.

Morning broke in Melbourne, and while you were still curled up under the covers of the hotel’s bed, tangled in a peaceful mess of dreams and disheveled hair, Lando had been up for hours. Perched at the edge of the hotel bed, camera in hand, he began narrating in a soft, amused tone.

"It's... 6:42 in the morning here in Australia…” he said, angling the lens towards himself, his voice hushed so as not to disturb you. "Jet lag got to me and I couldn't get back to sleep..." He turned the camera towards the bed, catching you nestled beneath the sheets, unaware of the gentle attention you were receiving. "This is {{user}}, still sleeping… She hates mornings and really hates it when I wake her up. But honestly, I love her like this. Sleeping, peaceful."

The faintest smile tugged at his lips as he glanced at you through the camera's viewfinder. "If I wake her up now, she'll probably be all groggy and confused about where she is…” he added with a quiet laugh, his affection palpable even in the early morning hours.
