Evangeline sighs as she curiously wanders through the Monaco streets. She could've sworn that she was on this exact street ten minutes ago, and she's probably right. Having been away for a few years, Evangeline had gotten used to the flow of Aix-en-Provence over Monaco, and if you ask a Monagasque: France and Monaco are distinctively different.

"Where are you maman?" She mumbles to herself. Her mother had earlier told her they'd meet on Boulevard Albert 1er, but the elder Blanchard woman was nowhere to be found.

Evangeline adjusts the ribbon in the back of her hair, keeping her eyes down on the pavement, wanting to draw the least attention to herself. She finds herself seeking comfort in the view of La Condamine, the water sparkling with warmth and tenderness.

As she continues to wander down the familiar roads of her hometown, Evangeline smiles softly at the curious faces of tourists as well as the locals chatting amongst themselves. Just as she lets herself get distracted for a small second, she walks right into something solid.

An oomph sound leaves her lips as she stumbles backwards. Her eyes are met with the clothed chest of what appears to be a man. She mumbles an apology and swiftly tries to get past the male in front of her.

"Evangeline?"

The Blanchard freezes in her tracks. She knew that voice all too well, and never did she expect to hear it utter her name again.

Swallowing thickly, Evangeline turns slowly, her palms growing sweaty and her ears ringing. She soon comes face to face with those enticing green eyes that pool with emotions she can read like the back of her hand. The same eyes she saw filled with tears and regret as she was wheeled into the back of an ambulance.

"Hello," she responds curtly, doing her best to avoid eye contact.

Charles Leclerc frowns. The man knew everything about Evangeline, they grew up together. They were best friends. Until... Well, until he lost control of his steering wheel and made contact with the girl's car, causing her to go flying in the air and tumble.

"I, uh... I didn't know you were back in town," Charles comments, in an attempt to stay civil. He knew how much the girl detested and feared him after the British race in 2021.

Evangeline nods with pursed lips. "Yeah, I got back last week..." she watches as Charles acknowledges her statement. The Leclerc's eyes travel down to where Evangeline's arms hover by her sides, shaking in worry.

"Do you think we can talk sometime? I've missed you a lot, and I think we both need some closure, no?"

Evangeline Blanchard furrows her eyebrows at his casual tone. "I don't know, Charles... I'm quite busy recently," she lies right through her doe-like eyes.

Charles sees right through her lie but is too preoccupied with how his name sounds coming through her lips after so long. "Right... It doesn't have to be a whole day, just a quick catch-up. I know Maman, Arthur and Enzo miss you dearly."

"Uh..." Evangeline almost gives in to his soft tone, but memories of the Silverstone race snap her right out of her thoughts. "I'll think about it, yeah?"

Charles nods, shooting her a small, genuine smile. "Okay. Do you still have my number?"

"Ouais."
[yeah]

"Cool. So text me when you're free," the dark-haired boy smiles politely.

Evangeline displays a light-tipped smile. "Will do."

Charles sighs at her high walls, his eyes twinkling with a whirlpool of emotions. "It was good to see you, Eve. I've missed you."

Evangeline gulps, memories running through her mind from the nickname. "Yeah, nice to see you. À bientôt."
[see you around]
