"Saturday 12th of June"

I was admiring the decorated now garden from my balcony when someone knocked on my door. "It's Charles. I brought your letter." "Don't come in. Wait I will pass you your letter under the door. Do the same please." "What you say mon amour." Soon after I passed him his letter I took mine, sat on my bed and started reading.

"My beautiful Anna,

Where should I begin? Before I met you, I was just living my life as an F1 driver and I tended to focus only on my work without enjoying the moments. The very first moment I saw you I felt that you were going to be someone very important to my life. Our relationship may not have been the easiest based on how many obstacles we faced but it is worth every minute. You changed me Anna. You changed me for the better. I learnt how to enjoy and value every moment, that it's ok to make mistakes and that I do not fail anyone. I have lost many people in my life mon amour but I can not imagine losing you. You are the most important person in my life. You ARE my life. I can't wait to marry you Mrs. Leclerc. Please remember that I will always be there for anything you need. Always and forever, no matter what happens. I love you Anna. I love watching you smile and have fun. I love how your eyes light up when you are laughing. It is my favourite thing in the world. You own my heart mon amour. 

Forever yours C. Leclerc"

Charles Leclerc

I took my letter from the door and started reading it.

"Charles,

I can't believe that we are getting married today. I feel like it was yesterday when I first met you but it's been a year. It's absolutely crazy how fast time flies. I love you Charles. I love every part of you and I am so proud of you. You make life seem like a dream and honestly I don't want to wake up. You make me feel like I am the most precious person in the world. You have helped me so much. When I was ready to give up you pulled back from the edge. You showed me what real love was and you make me so happy. I will always support you and be there for you. I can't wait to hopefully grow our family. You are my sun Mr. Leclerc and without you I would forever be the darkness and coldess. I can't live without you. You are the perfect match to my puzzle.

Always and Forever, Anna P."

I pressed my back to the door the exact time Anna did and gave her my hand which she took immediately. "I love you so so much mon amour." I said and closed my eyes. "I love you too Charles. You almost made me cry with your letter. I loved it." "I am happy about that and I want you to know that I mean every single thing." "I know Charles, I know" she sighed. I felt her happiness, her sadness, her everything. I will not survive if I lose her.

"Ah Charles enough. I am getting emotional now and it's your fault. You will ruin my makeup." "I am sorry love" I laughed. "It's 7 o'clock. I think we should start the wedding." I said. "I agree. Go downstairs, inform the guests and I am hoping to see you down the stairs in 10 minutes." "Don't worry mon amour. I will be there waiting for the most beautiful bride to come. See you in 10 minutes then" "Alright. I love you." "I love you" I said and went downstairs.

I stared at the sky from my balcony before I got ready to get downstairs. For some reason looking at the sky made me feel calm, relaxed and I was able to dream. So that was what I did. I dreamt. I dreamt of a life with Charles, having a child with him and getting old together. I wished things with my parents would be different so they could be here but I knew that wasn't possible. I wished for Charles to win the championship and for a moment I thought about my sixteen year old self. She would be over the moon that I was marrying Charles. But would she be proud of what I had become? I didn't know but the only thing I could do was to hope that she would. I then looked at the time and noticed that the time had finally come. I was ready to walk down those stairs and marry the love of my life.
