At the final stretch, their cars were neck and neck.
Heading for the last turn...
As they approached the snaking path, Mei orchestrated a perfect drift, drawing slightly ahead of West.
West tried to catch up, but the drift had put her slightly ahead, leaving his car a few inches behind hers just as they crossed the finish line.
WINNER: MEI
She exhaled, letting out a breath that she didn't realize she had been holding.
"…I won."
West leaned back slightly, smirking.
"Yeah. You did."
He looked at her.
"So."
"What's your wish?"
Mei held his gaze for a moment before stepping closer.
"…Close your eyes."
West raised a brow.
"That's the wish?"
She nodded.
"…Trust me."
West paused briefly with a look of suspicion before he closed them.
The noise in the background of the arcade grew louder as he waited but West was powerful enough to feel movement in his surroundings so he knew she was drawing closer. He just didn't know why.
