You donât expect the moment to happen while youâre sitting on your sofa, hair in a messy bun, wearing one of Landoâs hoodies that still smells faintly like his cologne.
Itâs race weekend.
Which means youâre home.
Which means the house is quiet in that particular way it only is when heâs gone - not lonely, just missing something. Missing him.
Youâve got the TV on, muted, watching the preârace coverage while you fold laundry. Itâs background noise, familiar and comforting. Youâre not really paying attention until you see him on screen.
Heâs doing his usual paddock interview - relaxed stance, hands in pockets, curls messy from the wind. He looks good. He always looks good. But today he looks⊠soft. Thoughtful.
The interviewer asks something about longâterm plans.
You barely register it.
Until he says it.
âNo chance. Maybe Iâm wrong. But I want kids and I want out of here.â
You freeze.
A sock slips from your hands.
Your heart stutters.
Your breath catches.
Because he said it.
On camera.
In front of the entire world.
And heâs never said it to you.
Not once.
Not even hinted.
The interviewer looks stunned.
The paddock goes quiet.
Max Fewtrell appears in the background, laughing so hard he bends over.
You sit there on the sofa, staring at the screen like it might explain itself.
Kids.
He said kids.
He said he wants out of here.
He said he wants a family.
And he didnât tell you first.
Your stomach flips - not in a bad way, just in a holyâshitâdid-he-mean-that way.
You mute the TV completely, even though itâs already muted, because your brain is suddenly too loud.
You replay the clip.
Twice.
Three times.
Every time, it hits the same.
He meant it.
You can see it in his face.
He wasnât joking.
He wasnât deflecting.
He was telling the truth.
And he didnât realise he was saying it out loud until it was too late.
You spend the rest of the afternoon in a strange haze - not upset, not scared, just⊠processing.
Softly.
Quietly.
You make tea.
You tidy the living room.
You sit on the sofa again and stare at the wall for a full minute.
Kids.
He wants kids.
With who?
You know the answer.
But hearing it?
Hearing him say it?
Itâs different.
Itâs real.
â
He comes home late that night - suitcase rolling behind him, hoodie pulled tight around his shoulders, curls flattened from travel.
You hear the door open.
You hear him call your name.
âLove?â
You swallow, heart fluttering.
He steps into the living room and stops dead when he sees you.
Youâre sitting on the sofa, blanket around your legs, TV paused on the exact frame of him saying the quote.
His face drains of colour.
âOh my god,â he whispers. âYou saw that.â
You raise an eyebrow.
âI saw it.â
He drops his suitcase instantly.
Hands go to his hair.
He looks like heâs about to pass out.
âI didnât mean to say it,â he blurts. âI mean, I did, but I didnât mean to say it like that, and I didnât mean to say it there, and I didnât mean for you to hear it like-â
âLando.â
He freezes.
You pat the sofa beside you.
He walks over slowly, like heâs approaching a wild animal that might bolt. He sits down, knees touching yours, eyes wide and terrified.
âIâm sorry,â he says softly. âI shouldâve told you first.â
You look at him - really look at him - and heâs so earnest, so gentle, so scared of hurting you that your heart melts.
âIâm not upset,â you say.
He blinks.
âYouâre not?â
âNo.â
He exhales so hard his shoulders drop.
âI was scared youâd think I was being stupid,â he murmurs. âOr that I didnât think it through. Or that I was pressuring you. Or that I was just saying things without meaning them.â
You shake your head.
âYou meant it.â
He nods, cheeks pink.
âI did.â
You take his hand.
He squeezes yours instantly, like heâs been waiting all day to touch you.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â you ask gently.
He looks down at your joined hands.
âI didnât know how,â he admits. âItâs huge. And I didnât want to freak you out. And I didnât want to say it wrong. And then the interviewer asked, and you werenât there, and I just⊠said it.â
You smile softly.
âIt didnât freak me out.â
He looks up, eyes hopeful.
âReally?â
âReally.â
He leans in, forehead touching yours, breathing you in like heâs grounding himself.
âI want a future with you,â he whispers. âI didnât mean to announce it to the entire world before telling you, but⊠I do.â
Your chest warms.
Your cheeks warm.
Everything warms.
âI want that too,â you say quietly.
He closes his eyes, relief washing over him like a wave.
You sit like that for a moment - soft, quiet, wrapped in the kind of warmth that feels like home.
Then his phone buzzes.
He groans.
âMax,â he mutters. âI know itâs Max.â
You laugh as he checks the screen.
It is Max.
The message reads:
MAX:
Bro. BRO. You want KIDS??? You?? Actual children??? Iâm framing this interview.
Lando hides his face in your shoulder.
âIâm never living this down.â
You stroke his hair.
âYou absolutely arenât.â
He groans louder.
Another text comes in.
MAX:
Does she know you want kids or did she find out with the rest of us?
Lando whimpers.
You take the phone and type back:
YOU:
Hi Max. Yes, I know. Yes, heâs alive. Barely.
Max replies instantly.
MAX:
Tell him Iâm buying baby socks for Christmas.
Lando lets out a noise that can only be described as a dying animal.
You laugh so hard you nearly fall over.
â
A few days later, youâre sitting at dinner with Cisca and Adam - a cosy little restaurant Lando loves, warm lighting, soft chatter, the kind of place where everything feels gentle.
Cisca is already smiling at you both like she knows something.
Adam is sipping wine, eyebrows raised in amusement.
Youâre halfway through your meal when Cisca brings it up.
âSo,â she says casually. âKids?â
Lando chokes on his drink.
âMum!â
She beams.
âIâm just asking!â
Adam chuckles.
âI told her not to bring it up.â
âSheâs excited,â you say, smiling.
Cisca nods enthusiastically.
âOf course Iâm excited! Heâs never said anything like that before. Not once. And then he says it on camera! I nearly dropped my phone.â
Lando covers his face with his hands.
âIâm never escaping this.â
Cisca reaches over and pats his arm.
âYouâll be a wonderful father someday.â
He peeks through his fingers, cheeks bright red.
âMum, please.â
Adam grins.
âWeâre not rushing you. Just⊠happy.â
Cisca looks at you - soft, warm, full of affection.
âAnd if itâs with you,â she says gently, âthen weâre even happier.â
Your heart squeezes.
Lando reaches for your hand under the table, squeezing it tight.
You squeeze back.
The rest of dinner is light, teasing, warm - Cisca telling stories, Adam laughing, Lando blushing every time someone says the word âkids.â
And when you leave the restaurant, hand in hand, Lando leans close and whispers:
âI meant it. All of it.â
You smile.
âI know.â
He kisses your cheek - soft, lingering, full of something that feels like forever.
And as you walk to the car, fingers intertwined, you realise something simple and quiet and true:
He didnât just say it.
He meant it.
And he meant it with you.
