Julia and Charles were carried away by a whirlwind of powerful, contradictory emotions. Time seemed to stand still as their lips moved together, savoring the sweetness and intensity of this long-awaited moment. It was a mixture of desire and tenderness, fear and hope. They let themselves be carried away by this embrace, trying to express everything they couldn't say aloud. Julia felt her heart racing, while Charles seemed to be trying to convey all the love he had for her through this kiss.

Then the realism of the situation caught up with them. They parted slowly, their eyes meeting again, filled with uncertainty and emotion. The reality of their shared feelings was undeniable, but they also knew that the situation was complex and couldn't be resolved with the snap of a finger.

They looked at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say, but not wanting to break this special moment either. Finally, Charles broke the silence :

— I don't know what this means for us, but I'm not going to lie, I'm glad it happened.
— Me too, murmured Julia.

She smiled gently at him, and the Monegasque felt his heart clench, and his eyes sparkle. He'd been waiting for this moment for years, but now that it had finally arrived, he had no idea how he was supposed to behave. What was going to happen now ? The silence fell heavily, and the two friends suddenly felt uneasy.

— I think you'd better go, Charles finally announced.

Julia nodded, a strange feeling twisting her stomach. She felt as if something had just broken between them, and she hated this bad feeling. She grabbed her things and walked backwards towards the front door, Charles at her heels. She placed her hand on the handle and opened the door. The young woman turned one last time to her best friend.

— You know you can count on me, whatever happens, don't you ? she asked, not at all serene.

Charles smiled weakly.

— Yes, I know, he replied in a soft voice. And you can count on me too.

Their eyes met one last time, filled with deep affection and a touch of sadness. Then Julia crossed the threshold and walked slowly away, while Charles watched her sadly leave. When she was out of his sight, he gently closed the door and leaned against it, his mind swirling with questions and uncertainties. He remembered the kiss he'd just exchanged, the taste of her lips on his, her fruity perfume filling his nostrils, the warmth of her embrace. He already missed Julia, and didn't even know if he'd be able to see her again before the next race.
