It was a topic that had surfaced between you on several occasions: the idea of making your relationship public. With Franco as an F2 driver and recently debuting in Formula 1, it was clear that the spotlight would soon be on him. The excitement surrounding his rising career meant that people would inevitably begin to speculate about his personal life, and the thought of keeping your relationship under wraps was becoming increasingly challenging for him.

Franco had been eager to take this step for quite some time. He felt that their connection was strong enough to withstand the scrutiny that would come with public attention. Each time the conversation arose, a mix of anticipation and apprehension filled the air, as both of you weighed the potential risks and rewards of going public.

One sunny afternoon, while you were both lounging at your house, the atmosphere was relaxed, yet charged with unspoken thoughts. Franco glanced over at you, his expression a mix of determination and vulnerability. “Can we talk about us?” he asked, breaking the comfortable silence.
