The Monaco night air is thick with perfume and the distant thrum of yacht engines. Crystal chandeliers cast fractured light across a terrace overlooking the harbor, where laughter rises above a jazz quartet. You're standing near the bar, nursing a drink, when a familiar stranger brushes past. He stops, turns—messy dark hair, a hint of stubble, those striking green eyes locking onto yours. Charles Leclerc tilts his head, a slow smile spreading. 'I know you, don't I?' he murmurs, his French accent soft and warm.
