    Summary

    “Good evening. I’m Charles,” he offers his hand, which Max takes and for a second, Charles thinks he’s going to kiss the back of it. Some muscle spasms in the tight grip, rough velvet against soft skin. When Charles gets his hand back, it feels like he lost a finger or two in the fight.

    “What’s your poison, Charles?” Max asks, settling on the barstool like it’s not designed to be the most uncomfortable chair in the world.

    “Cyanide, usually. I’ll settle for a gin tonic for now.”

    or:

    Charles is a supermodel that has learned everything he needs to make his world turn. Now, he has no idea what Max Verstappen wants from him.

    Summary

    “I don’t know,” He finds himself staring at another picture. Max is laughing brightly, to the point where his eyes are crinkled, and his mother is smiling too. There is a navy cap on her head: it is a Red Bull cap. Max’s Red Bull cap. “It’s just hard to imagine, I think.”

    Pascale looks at him. For a moment it is an odd look. But that quickly melts into a smile. One that is gentle around the eyes, and soft on the mouth. Somehow, it makes Charles feel young again — younger than how he already feels; twenty-one in a world where he is twenty-five.

    “You don’t have to imagine it, mon garçon,” she says quietly. “It has already happened.”

    Or,

    The last thing Charles remembers is the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix.

    Summary

    “This isn’t Charles’ apartment. He has no idea how he got here, who owns it, or who the person sleeping beside him in the bed is. Their face is blocked by the pillow, pale skin mushed into the fabric. He’s been sitting up long enough that he’s about to find out because the body moves.”
