BLAKE
I've spent my entire adult life trying to carry a legacy that was never meant to rest on one person's shoulders. To the world, I'm the backbone of Williams Racing. But behind the title, I'm still grieving-terrified that failing my father's team means losing the last real piece of my mother. Hiring Christian Horner was supposed to be a cold business transaction-a desperate gamble on a ruthless strategist to save us from collapse. I expected a villain defined by his scandals, but instead, I found a man who understands what it means to be hollowed out by the weight of expectation. He makes me want to stop living for the dead and start fighting for myself. And for the first time, I'm not sure if I'm doing this for my family-or finally, for me.
CHRISTIAN
Regret sticks with you. After two years in exile, I've learned to live with it. I told myself I liked the quiet, but the truth is, I was just waiting for it to swallow me whole. When Blake Williams offers me a way back, I don't take it to save her team-I take it to prove I'm still here. My plan was simple: fix the car, keep my distance, and leave. But Blake doesn't back down. She sees right through the front I've built. Letting her in wasn't the plan, but she's the only thing keeping me from slipping back into the dark.

What she forgot
Toto Wolff x Rosaline (christians Horner's daughter) ________________________ He looks at her, eyes entirely on her. "That was a reckless move. A bad one." He whispers close to the side of her face. His throat bobs somewhere near, and it sends a jitter through her. "But you seemed to like it." She answered cleverly through her breath. He was too close, it clouded her oxygen, making her breathless. She tried to focus her eyes elsewhere, maybe somewhere over his shoulder. Something light touches her lips, his thumb, and it lightly brushes over. "You have no idea what you're talking about." Her pulse skyrockets. "Toto- " She tries to speak but he covers her mouth with his hand lightly, forbidding her from speaking. "Do not test me." He whispers over his hand that was covering her mouth. If there were no hand, he would certainly have kissed her. Something was pushing her to grab his hand and remove it from her over her mouth. She was being daring, staring right into his eyes. He takes one small step forward, closing all space between them. Her heart lurches. He kisses her. ________________________________ Tropes: Older man x younger girl Team principal x engineer First kiss HEAComplete
