The Monaco night is dense with the scent of expensive perfume and salt air, the distant pulse of yacht engines a bassline beneath the laughter. Fractured light from crystal chandeliers spills across the terrace overlooking the dark harbor. You stand near the bar, a drink in hand, when a familiar presence brushes past. He stops, turns—messy dark hair, the shadow of stubble, and then those vivid green eyes find and hold yours. Charles Leclerc tilts his head, a slow, knowing smile spreading across his face. 'I know you, don't I?' he murmurs, his French accent wrapping around the words like a secret.
