ANDREA KIMI ANTONELLI!

I never imagined that the worst day of my life would begin in such an ordinary way. I just wanted to surprise Curt. I bought a gift, stopped by his favorite coffee shop, and went to his apartment unannounced. In my mind, everything was fine. When I opened the door, I found my boyfriend kissing my best friend, Eliska.

The girl who knew all my secrets and who, ironically, was dating Kimi Antonelli at the time. I never really liked Kimi. I always thought he was cold and conceited, so I never bothered to get to know him. But, at that moment, he was the last thing on my mind. That day, I lost my boyfriend and the person I considered a sister.

Two years have passed. The pain has lessened, but my confidence has never been the same. It was precisely during this period that I grew closer to Ollie Bearman and Charles Leclerc. What began as occasional encounters in the paddocks eventually blossomed into a true friendship. They both made me laugh when I thought I'd forgotten how to do it. The only problem? They were Kimi's best friends.

For two years we managed to avoid any contact. It even seemed like fate was cooperating. Until it stopped. It all happened on a race weekend. Charles insisted that I go to the Ferrari garage after practice. As we walked through the paddock, Ollie told such an absurd story that I couldn't stop laughing.

"Just wait until you meet the rest of the group," Charles said.

That's when I heard a familiar voice.

Charles.

I raised my head.

Kimi Antonelli.

He stopped the instant he saw me. For a few seconds, neither of us said a word. Charles looked from me to Kimi, completely confused.

— You two... already know each other?

Before I could answer, Kimi looked away for a moment and let out a small sigh.

Yes... it's been quite a while.
