"MADDIE BELLE!" A FAMILIAR VOICE SHOUTS AS I WALK around the airport. "Maddie!"

I quickly turn to see Charles pushing his way toward me. "Charlie!" I call back, jumping into his arms. He spins me around and holds me tightly. As he sets me down I tilt my head back, waiting for his lips to meet mine. The warm, soft feeling against my mouth makes me smile.

"Hi," I breathe as we pull apart.

"Hello," he replies, resting his forehead against mine. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," I reply before leaning back and groaning at the sky. "And I've missed racing. I cannot wait to be back in the garage."

"There's a surprise waiting for you at the hotel," Charles smiles, interlocking his fingers with mine. I grab onto my suitcase again as we walk through the airport.

"A surprise?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"I wasn't the only one that missed you," he laughs. We walk and talk, mostly catching up on anything our texts and phone calls didn't include. Being with Charles again was like a breath of fresh air. I had missed his presence while I was alone in New York. I know the space was good and it makes me appreciate our time together more, I feel better with his hand intertwined with mine. We pull up to the hotel and Charles smiles over at me. I bounce in my seat as the car slows down. Through the huge glass doors, I can see a very familiar face.

"Charles," I say, grabbing onto his arm.

"Go," Charles laughs. "I'll get your bags."

"Thank you, thank you," I say, climbing out of the car before it's even stationary. The hotel doors fly open as I abandon Charles.

"Maddie!" Lando shouts at the same time I call out to him. We collide, nearly tackling each other to the ground in our hug. The momentum is too much and I feel him wobble, but he saves himself, lifting me off my feet and spinning me around. "You're here!"

"I missed you so much," I sigh as he sets me down and we pull apart. Someone aggressively fakes a cough next to us and I see a group of men getting off the couches in the lobby.

"What about me?" The first one, with the cough, holds his arms out.

"I knew you secretly liked me, Carly," I smirk, wrapping my arms around Carlos.

"Meh," he shrugs, before tightly hugging me back. "Charles is just mopey when you're not around."

We pull apart and I shoot a glare at him. Pierre is next in line, one hand in his pocket and the other reaching toward me. "Hey, P."

"Hi," he smiles, quickly giving me a one armed hug.

"Danny," I enunciate the a and y so it sounds more like "Daaan-nayeee", which makes him laugh. Usually Daniel is the one playing with people's names. He quickly hugs me, patting my back before letting me go and stepping to the side.
