Charles found his town boring. And the older he got, the more he found it boring. Especially when all his friends left it one by one and he was still here working as a music teacher.

He could have tried his career online, after all he was a very good pianist, but no. He stayed here. Dust collected on his pinned-up hair like Taylor Swift was singing. His students were good but Charles was tired of teaching always the same things.

The only one who stayed was Lando because he was a twitch streamer and didn't really need to move ( especially with the cute florist called Oscar that Lando fancied ).

It was another one of this day who annoyed Charles a lot. It was almost Christmas but not totally Christmas.

He had put a movie for the last day before the Holidays to entertain the class a bit when his phone rang and he saw the notifications coming from Lando : "You won't guess who is back in town for good." Charles send back "Who ?" He was not in the mood to play Lando's games. But his mood went better when he saw the Brit's answer "Pierre Gasly is back in town with Alexander Albon and George Russell." Charles was a childhood friend of Pierre but they lost each other a bit in highschool when Pierre became very popular and Charles stayed with Max who was more introvert like Charles than Pierre. And when Pierre left the town to pursue in the influencer career, Charles lost total contact, just following him on Instagram and Tiktok. By that he knew who was George Russell the actor and Alex Albon the musician who were Pierre's friends. "Seriously ? He's as beautiful as before ?" Charles send back to Lando, grinning widely.
