As dawn broke the next morning, Charles had already left the hotel early to drive to the paddock. The last free practice was coming up, but there was a lot to prepare and discuss beforehand. Jolie was still trying to grasp the full extent of his commitments and tasks, as she was still a newcomer in this world of motorsport. Yet her curiosity drove her, and she tried to pick up as many details and pieces of information as possible.

After a quick shower, Jolie felt refreshed and ready to face the world. Her outfit choice consisted of a chic red, high-waisted pair of trousers that elegantly accentuated her figure. She paired it with a white tanktop. A pair of white sandals, simple golden earrings, and a matching necklace completed the look. She had straighten her Hair, and her makeup was subtle, with her lips shimmering in a delicate shade of pink. In front of the floor-length mirror in her hotel room, Jolie quickly made an Instagram story.

The sunbeams filtering through the curtains perfectly captured the gold tones of her accessories, giving the whole scene a warm glow. She smiled at the camera without revealing where she was. The constant balancing act between her private life and online presence wasn't always easy. Jolie's Instagram platform had certainly grown over the past few weeks, and she was aware of the increasing attention following her since she and Charles had interacted on social media. But she wanted to protect her relationship with him and take the time to explore their connection at her own pace. She browsed through her notifications and noticed that some of her followers were trying to piece together where she was and whom she was spending her time with. The thought made her smile. Regardless of the speculations, she was determined not to be distracted by the noise and to fully enjoy her time in Miami.

Shortly after midday, with the sun at its zenith in the azure sky, Jolie entered the paddock. She was clad in elegant sunglasses, protecting her eyes from the harsh rays. Her step was confident, her posture upright. She headed straight for the distinctive red motorhome of Ferrari, its logo shimmering in the sunlight.

Compared to the previous day, she was now more familiar with the terrain, and she estimated that in less than ten minutes she would be with Charles. After all, today was the final practice before the big race, and she wanted to wish him some luck.

As she entered the motorhome, she was greeted by the familiar sounds of mechanics and engineers, busily preparing for the imminent start. Her gaze wandered through the garage until she spotted Charles deep in conversation with Andrea. Andrea gave her a warm smile and nodded in acknowledgment when he saw her.

"Babe!" Charles called out excitedly as he approached her, his eyes shining brightly. When he reached her, he gently grasped her wrist and pulled her into a quieter corner of the room, shielded from prying eyes and cameras. Tenderly, he placed his hands on her cheeks and lowered his lips to hers for a soft kiss.

"I'm just here to wish you luck," she whispered with a sly smile.

He winked, "I'll need that luck later for qualifying."
