"You're dead to me, Charles," she gasped. "You promised, Mar!" he yelled after her. She came to a halt. Without a second glance, she replied, "And I've kept mine for way too long." -------- Margot has loved Charles since they were kids hitting the karting tracks and dreaming of futures bigger than their small heads could fathom. But when Charles became a driver in Formula 1, soaring through the ranks while people whispered his name in awe, the boy who once held her hand and promised forever disappeared into a world of speed, fame, and shallow affections-leaving Margot and her heart behind. To him, she is a memory of the past he can remember or discard at will. To her, he's the ache she can't forget and the betrayal she can't forgive. But when a single drunk dial and an everlasting heartbreak bring their lives crashing back together, Margot must decide whether the boy she loved still lives inside the man who broke her, and if her love is worth rebuilding from the shards he left behind. ❗content warning: strong language, mature scenes, death, panic attacks [FINISHED] ⚠️ This is a work of fiction!
