Aubreigh Belle Fletcher knows the streets of London like the back of her hand, the way snow falls between the cracks of the footpath, the echoing chime of her parents' café, the warm smell of coffee that drifts through the streets every morning. It's a quiet life that she's grown used to, one where nothing unexpected happens.
Until it does. A clumsy mistake, an overwhelmingly-busy café, black coffee trickling down the oak tables puts her face-to-face with someone who doesn't belong in her world.
Lando Norris lives life under spotlights. Flashing cameras, roaring cars, luxury beyond imagination. His life is too fast, too watched, too out of reach, the kind that Aubreigh's only ever heard of.
And yet, somehow, he stays. His laugh becomes a familiar sound, his smile lightens up the darkest of days. Soft moments stretch into a blur of effortless conversations, and feelings that come too fast.
But things like these aren't supposed to happen to her, not anymore. But for a moment, it felt like maybe they could. That maybe, whatever was happening that December, wouldn't become a lesson to learn from, not again.
Until the season began, with it brought the harsh, loud world that Aubreigh couldn't have prepared for. The familiar London streets morphed into foreign cities lined with people. The coffee cup that once warmed her hands was replaced by a hot, crackling microphone streaked with blue, red and white. Because when Aubreigh Belle Fletcher finally steps into the world of Formula 1 herself, she's no longer a little girl that was forced to watch a grand prix, but a reporter standing in the paddock with hope bubbling in her stomach. However, she doesn't find what she expects.
And suddenly, everything they never said, becomes the loudest thing between them.
But the worst part? She hasn't even lost him, 'cause you can't lose something you never had.
