Everything was complicated for you right now. Thoughts and feelings swirled inside your mind like they never had before. A few months ago, you met Lando Norris through one of your friends. You had been in contact a little bit, writing here and there, meeting up a few times on small dates, mostly to get to know each other a bit. But you kept your darker side a secret. In the heart of Monaco's underworld, you stood out in the notorious Red Serpents gang. Your reputation was heavy, making you an indispensable asset and a figure of respect and fear in equal measure. Tonight, you were in your meeting place, a hidden basement under the Casino of Monte Carlo. You heard a lot of yelling outside, so you rushed out. The sight filled your eyes: a few members of the gang were surrounding Lando, holding him down to steal his expensive watch.
“Hey! Stop this madness. Back off” The second your voice is heard, every man backs away. And you met Lando’s gaze.
“What—what’s goin... wait... Madeline?”
Silence fills the air. He gets up from the ground and brushes some dirt off his pants. His eyes confused, pleading but with a small hint of love, before he speaks again.
“I knew something was off about you... Is anything you’ve told me real?” he said quietly.
