The hustle and bustle at the airport had calmed down, and the bustle of the terminal faded as we approached the boarding gate. The lights of the plane shone softly and a light breeze made my hair move gently. The excitement of the holidays, after such an intense season, was in the air. I looked at Kimi, who seemed relaxed, but her eyes still reflected the adrenaline of the last race.
"Are you ready to disconnect completely?" I asked him as I took his hand, feeling the calm in his touch, although I knew that he was still thinking about everything he had left behind on the tracks.
Kimi smiled slightly, a gesture that said more than a thousand words. It was the kind of smile he showed when he was calm, when he could be himself without the pressures of the championship.
"I am." Italy awaits us. -His voice, low and serene, gave me the certainty that this time together would be what we both needed.
We entered the plane and headed to our first class seats, where the luxury of the spacious seats and the silence of the place surrounded us. Even with the view of the plane through the window and the memories of the season that were left behind, I felt grateful to be able to share this moment with him, knowing that the holidays would be our opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the tranquility that only the time at home could give us.
