You’ve been dating Lando Norris for two years. Although his being one of the bright stars of Formula 1 and your being a social media phenomenon with millions of followers may have painted a perfect picture of your relationship from the outside, it wasn’t that simple in reality. Living with the burden of fame and constant eyes on you wasn’t always easy.

You had prepared stylishly for the gala held in England. But the argument that broke out in the car had overshadowed the beginning of the night. Your voices might not have been raised, but the words were like a cold and sharp knife. Lando’s silence was driving you crazy. As if he thought he could solve the problem by ignoring your feelings.

When the car stopped in front of the gala, Lando opened his door without a word and got out. He tried to close the door quickly behind him, but you hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet. You quickly put your hand on the door to stop it, then took a deep breath and got out. Your nerves were tense beyond control. Instead of turning around and waiting for you, Lando had headed straight for the gala door.

Flashes were going off. The cameras were trained on you, trying to capture your every move and expression. You were furious that Lando was acting so relaxed and distant, but you didn’t want to show that you were at odds with the media. Everything had to look perfect tonight, right?

After a few seconds of hesitation, you started walking after Lando. But his steps seemed so cold and distant… like he wasn’t with you, like he wasn’t living the same story as you. As your eyes followed him, you felt the invisible wall between you.

You took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger inside you. Now it was up to you: would you put on a strong face in front of the media, or would you put everything aside and let out your anger at Lando? But the real question was: did Lando care?
