Epilogue

Olivia by One Direction

The video call was reconnecting. Liv looked outside, and her eyes fell on a group of people who were passing the facility. The sun was shining, and it was warm outside. What else do you need?

"Ah, yes. There you are again," the voice of Natasja filled Liv's ears. Liv looked back at her laptop screen, Natasja was back after a whole minute of reconnecting. "My apologies, the wifi somehow doesn't work like how I want it to be."

"No worries," Liv politely said. Liv knew the problem wasn't on her side, she was surfing on the wifi network engineers used as well, meaning it was the best possible wifi there was.

Natasja smiled and took a sip from her cup of tea. "So, where were we?" She looked down on her notebook. "Oh, right. How are you, Liv?"

"I'm feeling good, actually. As you may know, I'm interning at McLaren," Liv began. Natasja nodded. "We arrived a few days ago in Melbourne for the first race of the year, so it is a bit hectic around here and new for me, but everything is fine."

Since Liv forgot to cancel her appointment with Natasja, they had to FaceTime because Natasja wanted to see and speak Liv. Natasja was back in England and Liv in Melbourne, Australia, at the McLaren facility.

"That's wonderful. The free practises were this afternoon, right? Or this night?"

Liv nodded. "Yes, this morning and afternoon. Lando and Carlos did good, so that's always amazing. They're looking forwards for the upcoming days."

"And you're part of the marketing department, right?" Liv nodded again. "What do you do?"

Liv always told Natasja how much she disliked marketing, she was regretting her choice of study and never saw something positive in it. But it changed since she began her internship at McLaren. "I mostly keep up the social media, as the captions and photos, and keep up the content on the McLaren app," she told Natasja enthusiastically. "It isn't much yet, but it is a beginning. And I spend a lot of time with Henrik, not in a romantic way or something, but because he's making the videos for McLaren and I help him with coming up with ideas and stuff."

"You seem to like it, that's amazing Liv. Lando is doing fine as well?"

"Yeah, he really likes to be back on track. He is too excited, but I agree with him. He's like a little kid at a sweets store right now," she smirked.

It made Natasja softly laugh. "Alright, listen up. Last time we saw each other, we talked about the progress you have made over the past two years. I'm proud of you, you made a lot of positive progress. I've read the notes about 2019, shall we have a quick look at it?" Natasja grabbed the folder of Liv. Liv agreed on it. "Good. I will not get into the details, but the important topics. My first question for you is: how do you look back on 2019?"

Moments and memories raced through Liv's mind, 2019 was a year full of emotions - and not only negative. "2019 was a busy but exciting year. It was a emotional rollercoaster, but I honestly think I managed it all well and I'm looking back with a smile," she told and took a sip from her bottle of water.

"Hmm-hmm," Natasja hummed and wrote some of her words down. "That's good. You were really struggling at the beginning indeed, the most after the Christmas holidays. That was because you were at the beginning of the process of accepting your grief, it took a year, and that's totally fine. You were struggling, saying you wouldn't know what to do next and you were scared of the future. You managed to push yourself through tough days, thinking of Courtney. You did a good job, Liv," she complimented the young adult. "Towards the summer, you really started to grow. You had a lot of better days, we had good conversations. Let's start with Glastonbury."
