Madeleine

I nestle myself into one of the big cream chairs across from Charles as Pierre takes the seat next to me and Max claims the large sofa on the side to lie horizontal because "we forced him to drink so much last night". I can't help but steal a quick glance at Charles as he's busy on his phone and he doesn't notice me staring. His hair is messy and he's wearing comfy clothing which pulls at my heartstrings because he just looks so... huggable.

Madeleine:

Look who I bumped into on the plane

Madeleine:

I'm working in F1 bc of Pierre

Mathéo:

You "forgot" to update

Fly me over so I can hang out with you all

WAIT

Does this mean you can hang out with Lewis Hamilton now???

Madeleine:

You just reminded me why I didn't tell you

I didn't even get my first paycheck yet, so no.

But I can try to come visit u, don't know about Charles tho

He's being hot and cold

Mathéo:

Or is he just hot

Madeleine:

MATHÉO

Mathéo:

Alright alright, keep me posted

and don't hesitate to give my number to Lewis if the opportunity pops up

Madeleine:

He's not gay, you know that

Mathéo:

Not that YOU know

Rolling my eyes, I put my phone away and take out my copy of Bridgerton.

"Mathéo says hello, by the way" I smile hesitantly at Charles. Not quite sure if he wants to speak to me. But a small smile appears on his face, reassuring me for the slightest bit that my presence is not bothering him.
