I clench my jaw.
Me
Hello.
Me
Now answer my question.
I’m sweating.
I grab a tissue and blot my face to keep my makeup in place.
After the race, there’s usually some type of sponsored party exclusive to the drivers and their teams, including any plus-ones. It’s frowned upon if you don’t show, even if you perform poorly.
However, we’re all about to skip it if my brothers know about Vinny’s unwelcomed groping. It won’t end well, and I’ll be damned if the very first race without my father in charge, one of them gets arrested or, worse,fined.
Rome
I didn’t say anything, but I love having something to hang over your head.
Me
Rome
Better watch it…I could always tell them if provoked.
Me
You watch it. Your career is in my hands every time you step onto the track.
Rome
And their careers are in mine. What would they do to him if they knew that he touched Vanstone’s Princess?
He makes it sound like I wanted him to touch me, which was not the case.
I switch back to the family group chat and quickly get caught up on the messages I missed.
Graham
Better not be trying to impress Vinny. He drove like a rat today.
Noah
I don’t know. My brotherly senses are tingling.
Van
What did I miss?
Beck
Everything, Van. You miss everything.
Noah
Vinny is always staring at her.
