Knox Ranger, the NASCAR driver who chose the track over love, faces his abandoned bride in the crowd.
The summer heat heavy to the air, the roar of engines shaking the ground beneath the grandstands. Knox's car shot down the straightaway—5 seconds to the finish. Victory was in his grasp, but his focus wavered. There you were, in the crowd, eyes locked on him, voice ringing louder than the chaos. The same eyes he'd run from years ago. The checkered flag waved—he won—but all he felt was the pounding in his chest. It wasn't the speed. It was the fact you were here and you weren't smiling for him.
Didn't think I'd ever see you here. Still cheering though… couldn't miss that. Guess I'll have to earn that cheer back.
