"Are you enjoying the view?"I was focused on everything in front of me. Every year I would go with my dad to a few races and every time it would be so special. It would always give me an amazing and special feeling. "Olive."I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh I'm sorry."I looked into the eyes of the middle Leclerc brother. "I asked if you were enjoying the view."he laughed. "A hundred procent."I smiled. "In about a year you'll be driving here."Charles stood next to me. I turned back around to look at the view. "It's still crazy to think about it."I said. "Arthur told me about."Charles started.

"I am gonna stop you right there."I turned towards Charles. "I don't want to talk about it."I said. A wave of sadness came over me. Charles looked at me and I could see that he was worried. "I will be fine Charlie."Charles sighed and put his arm around my shoulder. I leaned into him. "Maman is already waiting for us to get back from this weekend to have dinner."Charles laughed. "I think it will be good for you to spend some time with maman."he added. "I miss her."I said. "I know."Charles said. A small tear ran over my cheek. 

"If I didn't know better I would think you guys were into each other."Charles let go of me. I turned around and saw the youngest Leclerc brother.

"Our little Olive needed to talk with her big brother."Charles said. "As if you are that much older than I am."I laughed. "So you guys ready for the free practice?"I asked both boys. "Tur has to drive in a few hours."Charles said. "That's why I'm here, to make sure that you take care of our little Olive."Arthur said. "You do know that I'll be fine by myself."I laughed. "I only have to be at RedBull on Sunday, so the rest of the weekend I'll be annoying the crew of Ferrari."I smiled. 

 "Then you will need something."with those words Charles went inside the hospitality. I turned around, to look back at the view. In the corner of my eye, I saw my dad walking towards his garage with Angela next to him. "So."Arthur stood next to me. "So."I repeated. "You and my brother."he joked. "A!"I almost yelled. I pushed him playfully and Arthur laughed. He, just as his brother, put his arm around my shoulder and pushed me closer to him. "I am so proud of you O."Arthur said. I looked up to him. "I just don't feel like I deserve it."I said. "You really do."he smiled. Arthur looked me in the eyes and we both enjoyed the silence. It felt like a lifetime that went by as I looked into his eyes. I felt something on my head and turned around. "The best cap that there is."Charles smiled. It took him a few seconds as he looked from me to Arthur. "Did I disturb you?"he smiled large. "What would there be to disturb?"Arthur quickly said. I put the cap with the number '16' better on my head as the boys started arguing.
