Summary
Robin reaches for her. She slides a tentative hand towards her, palm up, knuckles skimming over Nancy’s thigh, the tips of her fingers twitching ever so slightly.
Nancy stares. And stares.
She wants to tell Robin, don’t offer your hand to me. If I hold it now, I might never let go.
She wants to tell herself, religion has taught you to be merciful. So be that. Let her go. Don’t take her hand when you might rip it clean off.
or: Robin is Nancy’s safe place.

Summary
“What you have to understand is — although we do race as a team and want the team to do well, ultimately in Formula One, your teammate is your biggest competition.” Robin Buckley shifted in her seat briefly, ignoring the studio lights as best as she could to look at her interviewer.
“And do you feel that way about Nancy Wheeler now that she’s joining you at Red Bull?”
“Not at the moment, no.” She pauses, not quite thinking about her next words.
“She would have to get a whole lot quicker to compete with me.”

Summary
Robin had always been a runner. Running from expectations, from people, from herself. Running felt safer than staying still, safer than facing whatever mess was waiting for her when she stopped. But the thing is, no matter how fast you run, life always catches up with you. And when it does? There's nowhere left to go.

Summary
“I feel it too, okay? The idea that it’s my fault, that if I’d been a little smarter, or a little faster, or—just—more, maybe it would’ve ended better. Maybe Eddie—" She breaks off. Swallows. Starts again. "But that doesn’t change the fact that we tried, every single one of us, and it was our own decision. So don’t you get it in your head that you’re the one to blame. There are a lot of people who would follow you into battle, Nancy Wheeler, and speaking as one of them, that’s not a character flaw. Not in the slightest.”
Nancy’s eyes are wet. Robin hates herself a little for thinking about how pretty it is.
“You’d follow me into battle?” she asks softly.
Robin stares at her. Then she gestures wildly in front of them. “What do you think I’m doing here?”or, all the ways that life goes on at the end of the world
