The next morning Pierre led Y/n through the hotel to George's room. He let her know he'd be in the restaurant and to take her time. Once he disappeared into the elevator Y/n knocked on the door. It opened and she was greeted by a beautiful brunette.

Carmen: Hey, I'm Carmen. You're Y/n right? I recognize you from the photos.

Y/n: Hi Carmen, I am. Is George around?

Carmen: Come in, he's just on the phone but he'll be done soon.

Y/n: Thank you.

Y/n stepped into the room and found a spot on the nearest chair. She and Carmen spoke until George entered from the balcony.

George: Y/n? What a nice surprise!

Y/n: Hey George. Got a minute to talk?

George: Of course! Shall we go outside?

Carmen: No need, I'll go wait in the lobby. No rush.

Y/n: Thanks.

Once Carmen left and the door was closed it was just them two.

George: So, you wanted to talk?

Y/n: Thank you

George: For?

Y/n: Everything. I never said it truly because I was upset with Pierre but now I really mean it. I'm also really sorry for not saying anything when I left, it was just too hard to stay.

George: No need to apologize. I get it, all of us actually understood why you left. We didn't expect you back so soon though.

Y/n: I didn't expect to be back so soon either until I read-

George: That article?

Y/n: Yeah... but anyways I just came to say thanks and apologize for everything else.

George: You're welcome and it's not necessary but apology accepted. Shall we head down now?

Y/n: Sure.

They got to the elevator and once it reached ground floor Y/n stepped out first catching Pierre's eyes. He smiled brightly at the sight of her and she returned it.

George: I take it you two spoke?

Y/n: Yeah, I really missed him.

George: He missed you too. He wouldn't shut up about you. Ah there's Carmen, I gotta go but thanks for coming to me.

Y/n: Of course I'd come to you, you are my friend you know. See you around.

They parted ways and Y/n went straight to hug Pierre. She was feeling better having let everyone important know she was back.

Pierre: You okay?

Y/n: Better than okay. Let's get going to the track. Can't be late.

Pierre: The car's just out here. Not eating?

Y/n: I actually forgot about food. No worry though, I'll grab something at the track.

They headed to the circuit and soon enough Y/n made her way to hospitality. She got there and bumped into Yuki.

Yuki: Y/n Summers! She returns!

Y/n: Hey Yuki, I see you haven't lost your appetite.

Yuki: It's impossible. Wanna sit with me?

Y/n: Sure.

Yuki: So I'm sure you're all good with Pierre now?

Y/n: Yeah, we're all good. I'm really happy to see him again

Yuki: I just know how much you being back means to him. He really changed when you left. I've never seen him so down and looking so guilty.

Y/n: I still feel so bad for hurting him like that... but-

Yuki: -You needed to leave. We know. Seeing as you've spoken, I take it you heard the news then?

Y/n: News?

Yuki: Yeah when-

Pierre: -Thought I'd find you here. What you two talking about.

Y/n: Yuki was just telling me about some news.

Pierre: Oh, well we need to get going so I hate to stop the chatting but best we go now Yuki. See you in the garage Chérie.

Y/n: Yeah

As Pierre and Yuki walked away and Y/n sat finishing her coffee she couldn't help but wonder what news it was that Pierre wasn't telling her.

It surely can't be the article, not by the way Pierre immediately stopped the conversation...

Deciding to brush it off, Y/n made her way to Pierre's garage but passed Charles' on the way. She slipped inside momentarily to wish him luck before joining Pierre.

Y/n: Good luck out there love.

Pierre: Merci ma Chérie.

She winked at him as he hopped in his car and drove off.

It wasn't long before FP3 was over and qualifying preparations had begun. Y/n was heading to Charles' garage to watch from there for a change when she overhead her name in a conversation. She recognized Pierre's voice but all the noise made the second one hard to place.

?: Does Y/n know about it?

Pierre: Not yet. Give me time to tell please...

?: She needs to know before she finds out for herself, or worse...

Pierre: By worse you mean he tells her.

?: Exactly. Look, I won't say anything even though I want to but you need to tell her Pierre. It's important she knows.

Pierre: I've only just got her back, what if it scares her away?

?: It won't. Tell her.

Pierre: I'll tell her soon. I promise.

?: Before she leaves for Monaco.

Pierre: Done. I'll tell her after the race.

?: Okay, I've got to go to the garage now. See you on track.

Y/n didn't want to risk being seen so she walked quickly behind the wall. When she saw Pierre pass she new it was safe to continue. Her mind was everywhere and even though she heard Pierre admit he'll tell her, she didn't enjoy the feeling of being lied to for these two days.

She hadn't realized she had reached Charles until she was surrounded by red.

Charles: Hey sis! It's so great to have you back in the garage.

Y/n: Thanks. Good luck for quali and I wanna talk afterwards okay?

Charles: Everything alright? Do we need to talk now?

Y/n: No no it can wait. Everything is fine.

Charles: Okay, see you when I'm back.

He drove out the garage and Y/n thought that I'd anyone knew anything about this news it'd be him. As Y/n pondered in her thoughts an arm wrapped around her giving her a scare but when she saw the faces she immediately calmed down.

Y/n: Arthur, Lo?!

Arthur: In the flesh

Lorenzo: Good to see you again, Monaco just wasn't the same without you around.

Y/n: Aw I missed you two! I didn't even know you were here this weekend.

Arthur: We love this race and Charles has taken us to all of them since you left. He said he wanted family there still.

Y/n: I guess he was used to me since I started coming back to races...

Lorenzo: It must've been weird for him to imagine a race without you then.

Y/n: Well I'm back now and won't leave again, especially not so suddenly.

Arthur: Are you okay though? Like really okay? Charles explained everything, from the DM's to Abbie.

Y/n: I'm really okay now thanks. Just, one question.

Lorenzo: Okay?

Y/n: Do you know anything about some news Pierre is supposed to tell me?

Arthur: ....
