"Mama mama wake up" my little girl yells while jumping up and down my bed.

"Mama I want something to eat"

"Okay baby I'm awake now. Do you want to order room service or do you want to eat out?"

"Out out" she says and continues to jump up and down. "Baby, did you eat something with sugar?"

"No mama I'm just excited"

"Okay baby let's get dressed and we will go out to eat something. Okay?"

"Okay, mama. Please can I wear my princess dress?"

"Okay baby let's go"

...

"Bunny, how are the waffles?"

"Yummy" she says putting both her hands up with excitement. I laugh at my baby. I cut her waffle into tiny pieces while she eats her fruit salad. The waiter brings me my food and we both start eating. "I can't believe I found a ticket for the Monaco Grand Prix."I hear someone say. "Yeah, I wished my father bought me a Paddock ticket. Why wasn't I born into a wealthy family? Life is so unfair." Someone else says. I can't believe someone can be so ungrateful and disrespectful. I hope my daughter doesn't turn like that. "I'm sure I could seduce one of the drivers. I'm sure I can and I don't care if he has a girlfriend or wife." What? I stop eating. How can you say something like that? Even if you are joking. "Well you do you I have eyes only for Arthur and fortunately for me he is single. I hope I see him around this weekend. He's the only reason I came to Monaco. Plus I'm planning to go to a few places where he usually goes when he's here." Okay, now I'm not hungry anymore. Someone taps me on the shoulder I turn to see a young guy. "Hello, can I help you with something?"

"Someone gave me this envelope for you." He gives me the envelope and walks away. Okay then I look at my daughter and she's doing her happy dance. I open it and it's a letter. "I'm so sorry about yesterday. You should know that wasn't how I planned the end of the night. But I want to explain everything if you let me. Inside this envelope are two paddock passes for you and Malia. If you come please search/ask for Mario he will bring you to me. I hope to see you there."

I look up again with a smile on my face. "Lia tell me when your finished okay honey? We have to go back home to get dressed. We have places to go."

"Okay mama"

...

I change to something more stylish. I would be lying if I didn't search for what to wear to an F1 race. Some people came up on my feed while I was searching. So I finally decided to wear some beige linen high-waisted pants with a white bodysuit. I paired it with my white Air Jordans, my tote bag, and some Celine cat-eye sunglasses. I dress Lia in some biker shorts and a loose t-shirt and some blue Air Jordans. I dutch braid her hair and we are ready. I put everything we might need in my bag and we go to the padlock.

Once we arrive there we scan our passes and I search for Mario. I asked a security guard and he showed me the Ferrari hospitality building. We walk there but you need a special pass to enter there. Amazing. I come all the way here for this. As we start to walk away someone calls me. "Ms. Talia Cooper?" I turn and it's an unknown man who's calling me. "Yes?"

"I'm Mario. I was asked to come and get you."

"Oh yeah. How are you?"

"I'm good now please come with me." And I do so. I take my daughter's hand and we follow Mario somewhere. He opens the door and there sits Arthur. He's reading something but he has headphones on. "Well, I'll leave you alone. You only have 20 minutes till the first practice."
