Summary
After his defeat in Indian Wells, Novak remains in the empty locker room, tormented by thoughts of age and the lost ease of his game.

Summary
In the quiet underbelly of Arthur Ashe, when the noise of the semifinal has finally faded, one unexpected knock breaks the calm. Novak isn’t prepared for it—least of all for the person standing on the other side. He has spent years building distance, shaping it into something unbreakable, something that keeps the world from asking more of him than he’s willing to give.
Carlos has never cared for boundaries, spoken or unspoken. He crosses this one without hesitation, still carrying the electricity of the match in his breath, driven by something he can’t fully name. And what follows isn’t a confession, or a challenge, or anything simple. It’s quieter, more uncertain—an opening neither meant to create.
Behind a closed door meant only for cooling down and moving on, two men accustomed to pressure and poise find themselves suspended in a moment that refuses to pass. A moment that shifts something fragile and unseen between them.
In the space between rivalry and something unspoken, even the strongest guard can slip—and the smallest knock can be the one that breaks through.

Summary
James Bond is an exceptional spy. He is also obsessive and a bit petty. None of these things are mutually exclusive. When a target is declared off-limits by the PM mid-mission, Bond points one problem at another, and then establishes a solid (and eminently pleasurable) alibi for himself.
