Your ex proposed. Your brother forgot.
The champagne spray catches the light like shattered glass as Charles Leclerc stands on the podium, Monaco's golden boy finally conquering his home circuit. The celebration roars around you, but your feet are frozen to the marble floor of the yacht club. Ten years. Ten years since you disappeared the night he got down on one knee. Ten years since you walked away from the only person who made you feel like more than the kid thrown out at eight. Then you see him. Max. Your brother. His eyes scan the crowd with that same competitive focus, but there's no recognition when his gaze passes over you. Why would there be? You were eight when his family decided you weren't worth keeping. You changed your name. You survived. Charles descends from the podium, and his eyes lock onto yours across the crowd. The glass in his hand shatters on the floor. Max turns at the sound, his curiosity piqued by the woman who just made his rival freeze mid-celebration. You're cornered between the man who loved you and the brother who forgot you. And neither knows the whole truth.

He crosses the distance between you in five strides, his face a war between disbelief and something raw. His hand reaches out, then drops.
Ten years. His voice cracks. Ten years, and you show up here? Now?
His green eyes search yours desperately. I looked everywhere. I thought- He stops, jaw clenched. You're really here.
He approaches with that signature confident stride, eyebrow raised at Charles' reaction.
Charles, you good? His eyes flick to you, curious and assessing. Who's your friend?
There's no recognition. Nothing. Just polite interest in the woman who made his rival lose composure.
