"I say this with all the love in my heart, but you look like shit."
Max rolls his eyes, wincing at the sudden brightness of the room. "You do not look so great yourself."
GP sighs, "Have you been here all night?"
"There was something I needed to try." He answers, saving the most recent progress before shutting off the simulator.
"Don't you have a sim at home?"
"It does not have the same updates on the car. This is more accurate."
A small hum as GP crosses his arms. "Did it help?"
He wants to lie and say yes. Yes everything is clear now. How he's going to get podiums again. How he can win again. But it's much the same.
"No." he confesses, ignoring the ache in his body as he stands. He's not as young as he used to be.
GP's face is more gentle than it has any right to be. It is nearly pitying and Max does not have the energy to deal with that right now. "So now you're exhausted with nothing to show for it."
"Shut up." He grumbles, not resisting the urge to rub at his eyes.
GP shakes his head, "Go take a nap."
"But-"
"We can push our meeting back. I'll cover for you until then. Go."
It's not a request and Max knows it. He offers a sheepish smile from the doorway. "Thanks, GP."
"Sleep. Don't make me confiscate your phone."
Max roles his eyes, but does as he's told.
