Beyond the race . {OG}

Fiona: "I just... I don't know how you can be so sure. You say all these things, but I keep wondering-what if one day you wake up and realize you miss your old life? The parties, the drinking, the freedom to do whatever you want without having to think about... us."

Lando tightened his grip on the wheel slightly.

Lando: "Fiona, do you think I'm stupid?"

She blinked, startled. "What?"

Lando: "Do you think I'd throw myself into this without knowing exactly what it means? Without thinking it through? I know what I want. And I don't care about the things I used to do. They don't make me happy anymore."

Fiona bit her lip, feeling torn.

Fiona: "It's not just about you, Lando. This is bigger than just feelings. My family, my beliefs... everything I stand for-it's not something I can just compromise on."

Lando finally pulled the car into the driveway and shifted into park. He turned to her, his expression serious.

Lando: "Fiona, I'm not asking you to compromise. I'm telling you that I want this. I want you. I want to learn, to grow, to be better-not because I have to, but because I choose to."
