“It means we’ll have to spend time together. Maybe even more than two days.”
His eyes brightened, his pupils blown wide.
“Zsófia,” he begged.
“No one knows what happened to you better than you,” I told him. “So help me understand it. Before the next race.”
He nodded enthusiastically. “Yes.”
“There will be some rules, though,” I warned.
“Anything,” he said again.
I leaned further in, so close to kissing him, but knowing I shouldn’t.I couldn’t.
He’d have to earn my forgiveness.
“We’ll leave as soon as your scans are done?” I asked.
“Before, if I had my way,” he said, hands on my waist, keeping me close.
My pulse hitched as he arched his neck, and I could feel myself crumbling.
And the panic in me tapped his nose to blast us both with a fire extinguisher. “Best get going then.”

Fia thought I was doinghera favour.
I’d struck gold.
Even the list of rules she’d slid under my hotel door made me smile. She normally stayed in an Airbnb with her sister and their friends. The fact that she’d come all the way to my hotel just to deliver it? That alone made me grin.
I read the rules until I could recall them wordfor word. Her handwriting was so pretty.
Follow these rules, or I’ll move teams the second we return.
You do not mention my father in any capacity. Unless I bring him up.
You do not get to come. At all. Whether it’s with your hand or anything else.
You are honest with me. You answer every question about the crash as specifically as you can with no omissions.
