Grateful for What?

After the first race, Bryan wanted to just relax and free his mind. That first round was epic and at the same time very disastrous. For a split second he was afraid of going near Alexa fearing that she had become a human wrecking ball.

She was too fierce tonight and had crashed a lot of bikes tonight. It was a good thing that he had managed to pass off in second position. He realised, much to his disappointment, that he might always end up as second to Alexa as far as this race was concerned unless he stepped up.

However, amidst his worries, Bernadette actually took it as the best race she'd ever had. She was hugging him tight and screaming her lungs out with every turn he made. She even jumped around a few times after they crossed the finish line.
