He does not expect to get dragged back into the city's underground racing circuit--the very place that made him a legend. And he definitely doesn't expect to see *her* again. -- Also available on ao3 TW: This is an angst-driven story. It explores violence, underground crime, racing injuries, betrayal, emotional manipulation, and toxic relationships shaped by trauma. My characters are incredibly flawed and make harmful choices. THIS IS A FANFICTION--I do not know the real cast members or claim to know their lives, please do not grow invasive and try to pin this to the real people. Please read with care :)
