We are waiting in the lobby of the airport for Shay's fiancé to get off his flight. Shay's a nervous wreck, pacing the floor while Eli and I busy ourselves with thumb wars. People are looking at us, some smile at us while others look as though they want to suck the fun out of the atmosphere. Eli borrowed another SUV for this airport pickup and I realise now that he rents vehicles instead of owning them. He tells me how he doesn't like his name on a vehicle as he gets paparazzi trying to photograph him and that's an accident waiting to happen. Instead, he lets his assistant arrange different vehicles for him. When I ask him about the car we usually use, he confirms that it is his but was bought with company funds. I finally learnt that it was a McLaren 720s Spider. "Can I drive it?"
