Summary
AU: When pop superstar Charles Leclerc finds himself unceremoniously dumped by his longtime boyfriend, the handsome and successful Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, his PR team develops the perfect solution to ensure Charles maintain his "pop diva" image: By having him fake date 4-time world champion Max Verstappen who may or may not be Charles's childhood crush.
Charles can't fathom why the handsome and newly single Red Bull driver would even need to engage in a fake relationship . . . but the petty and spiteful part of him can't wait to stick it to Carlos when he's photographed everywhere with a hot new driver.
(And maybe, some tiny little part of Charles just can't stop his heart from fluttering every time those ocean blue eyes look back at him wearing an expression that is frighteningly close to affection.)

Summary
When Max was eight years old, his mother took him by the hand and pointed across the great hall.

Summary
It’s been five years since then, and every day Charles wonders what happened. He’d asked all their mutual friends, and then he’d even tried just Max’s friends, and eventually he’d even decided to bother Sophie and Victoria, but nobody would tell him anything. Charles has thought of everything in that time: maybe Max was sick. Maybe his mother was sick. Maybe Red Bull had wanted something Max couldn’t give. Maybe Max had just decided he simply didn’t want to get in a car one more time.
Maybe he’d regretted what happened between them, and simply couldn’t look Charles in the eyes.
Without a single photo of Max in the last five years, Charles had even wondered, in his darkest, saddest moments, whether Max had died.
Now, standing in a patisserie, in a tiny rural town in France, Charles finally has his answer.
//
Charles has never been more lonely in his life. Then he stumbles upon Max and his daughter and he realises what he's been missing.
