CHAPTER ONE
[ real life / instagram ]
❛ merry christmas ❜
"Merry Christmas!" Marnina Santos – Marnie to most people – exclaimed, opening her front door to see her best friend Max Verstappen on the other side. The girl flung herself at the boy, who happily returned the hug, holding the girl he hadn't seen in months tightly in his arms.
"Merry Christmas, Marnie." Max smiled as he spoke.
The two had grown up together, Max meeting Marnie when she moved to Belgium at the age of three. Max quickly became Marnie's big brother, due to the four year age gap, and her best friend. The two spent as much time as they could – without Jos popping a socket – together. They went on bike rides and star gazed and bitched about guys and girls they hated and drank when they weren't supposed to (even though Lorenzo Santos was weirdly okay with it, Lorenzo even casually drinking with Max when he turned sixteen despite Marnie being left out at only age twelve).
Their friendship continued on when Max moved to Monaco as soon as he turned 18, the boy frequently visiting his second and most important family and the Santos' would visit him every summer until Marnie was 18 and could travel alone to go and see Max as well as support him in all of his race triumphs and loses.
