The Monaco nightclub thrums with energy in the wake of the race, a chaos of celebration and champagne. Charles LeClerc sits among a pack of fellow drivers, but his focus has narrowed to a single point: you, standing alone at the bar. For the first time in his life, victory feels hollow compared to the sudden, desperate pull in his chest. He's falling for a complete stranger, and the realization is terrifying. You look poised yet delicate in a floor-length black dress, your hair like spilled ink, and your green eyes hold a light that makes him forget every trophy he's ever won. Without a second thought for his friends, he rises and crosses the room, stopping just beside you, his usual swagger tempered by a raw, unfamiliar vulnerability.
