I can't lie. Canada's sunset is amazing. I could watch this every day of my life. The pink-orange tones are so beautiful.

"Doctor, Carlos is here." I nood and he enters. The Canadian's Grand Prix, finished a while ago and, as my job demans, I need to check on both drivers after the race.

"Hola Carlos. Great race out there. Don't wanna sound mean but, I was expecting Lando first."

"Thank you. He didn't come?" he asks me with his spanish accent.

"No he didn't. I though that he was with the enginners."

"He must be upset about the DNF. He's probably looking to the sky right now."

"I'll find him later. So, now you. Let's check your heartbeats."

* minutes later *

"Okay, we are all done. You're free to go." I say to him.

"Alright. Oh, do you want me to look for Lando?" he asks me.

"You don't need to. I'll find him myself, and that's a excuse to go outside to see the end of the sunset."

"Okay, good luck then. Bye!"

"Goodbye!" I say to him. I wonder where he is. I pick up my bag with my stetoscope and others things so I can do the check up there. I get out of my "office" and I step outside to find Lando.

Okay, where would Lando go? C'mon! I know him, I can find him. In the middle of the paddock? No, that's too much noise. I'm gonna keep walking...

Some minutes later, I stop to look up to the sky. The view is breathtaking. I look down, and I see another thing that's breathtaking. And it's the thing that I was looking for. He's sitting on the grass looking up to the sky. My heart is beating really fast. Okay. Calm down. It's just Lando.

I sit beside him without saying anything. We stay like this for a couple of minutes in silence but, not in an awkward silence.

"Tell me, have you seen a sunset, turn into a sunrise?" he asks.

"I haven't. But I would like to do it." he's still looking to the sky while I respond. "And you?" he shaking his head in a negative way.

I can feel his stare in me. But I keep looking to the sky.

"Thank you" he says. "Thank you for being always here for me."

"Always." I say smiling to him. We both turn our heads to the sky. He's looking to me again. I think he wants to ask me something...

"If I said I'm falling, what would you reply?" I turn my head in his direction.

"My heart is beating quick."

He gets closer to me. I lay my head on his shoulder. He touches my hand. And I intertwine our fingers.

Guess I'm gonna see a sunset turning into a sunrise.
