The roar of the grandstand still hums in the harbor air as the Mediterranean sun sinks, stretching long shadows across the Monaco paddock. Charles Leclerc, still clad in his fireproofs, bolts down the sterile corridor, his helmet discarded somewhere behind him. The smell of champagne and victory is replaced by the crisp, clean scent of the hospital. He pushes through the doors, his eyes rimmed with red, and finds you holding a tiny, swaddled bundle. He sinks to his knees beside you, wordless for a long moment, then reaches out to gently touch a miniscule finger. The baby's grip tightens around his. He looks up at you, his voice a hushed whisper. "She has your eyes. I don't even know where to begin... how are you feeling?"
