max's pov:
We left two days after that show, we spent some time walking around the city enjoying alone time since it's not very often it happens. I really enjoyed myself here having Iris by my side every step of the way, she cares so much about how I feel which I found very interesting at first. All the girls I have dated really haven't paid to much attention to what I felt about something but all Iris does is worry about how I feel, it makes me feel seen I guess since I never had that in relationship or even growing up with my father.

We were currently on the plane, Iris was curled up next to me fast asleep as I had my hand on her hip and rubbed circles on top of her shorts. It seemingly calmed her since I know planes aren't her favorite things in the world. Looking down at the sleeping girl seeing her breathe in then breathe out. Leaning my head down to kiss the top of her head gently hoping to not wake her, which I did successfully. Feeling my eyes also getting heavy but fighting the feeling since the flight wasn't long trying to distract myself by scrolling through my phone.
Texting my mother as well since she is already in Austria that we would be landing soon, she texted me back immediately saying she was already at the hotel with P and that P was so excited to see us again today which made me smile to myself.

The flight came to an end, I gently tried to wake up Iris giving her a few more kisses, feeling her stir around before craning her neck up towards me "We are about to land flower" I spoke out to her as she nodded her head lazily and leaned forward and gave me a kiss.

     Landing in Austria, helping Iris up and to grab her things. I took both of our suitcases as she walked to the car, she insisted on helping me since it was her suitcase but I denied her. The hotel was only twenty minutes away and the circuit is only 10 minutes away from the hotel, so relatively close so if anything happens with P at the race we are close to the hotel and it's just more convenient.

     The car ride felt shorter than twenty minutes which was good since we couldn't wait to see P. The hotel worker helped us bring down our things from the car, grabbing both of our suitcases once more to make it to our room to drop off our stuff before going to grab P from my mothers room.

     Tapping the keycard on the door seeing it blink green and unlocking the door, pushing the knob down and pushing the door forward to the room. Putting our stuff by the bed before texting my mom asking her room number. When she responded it was actually only a couple rooms down which was nice. Grabbing Iris's hand as we left the room to make our way down the hallway and to my mother's room, knocking on the door lightly so let her know I'm outside. Hearing the door unlock and seeing my mother and daughter standing right in front of me.

     I'm not away from P very often but when I do I miss her like crazy, she is the most important thing in my life. Immediately tackled by P as I laughed out "I missed you flower, so much" I said to her as I kissed her head.

    Not even five second go by and she is already in Iris's arms "Mummy I missed you so much, you can't leave me for that long" she said with our excitement in her voice to see that we are back.

    Iris was laughing at her comments "Seems like she missed mum more than me" I laughed out as I reached to give my mum a hug and thanking her for watching P. Watching Iris pick up P and place her on her hip since P won't let go of her, as Iris gives my mum a side a hug.

"Flower did you miss mum more than me" I asked as I tickled her in Iris's arms as she threw her head back in a giggle fit. She tried to hide her face in Iris's neck but it was no use.

"Daddy stop please" she laughs out even more but I still tickled her all over her body as she squirmed around some more.

"Only if you say if you miss mummy more than me flower" I laughed out as I continued to tickle her but more gently this time. I soon stopped since I want her to be able to breathe.
