China is kicking my ass.

Between the jet lag, sneaking out of Lennox’s hotel room before dawn, and my parents terrorizing me, I am beyond exhausted.

Lydia and Robert aren’t speaking to me, which is fine. The manipulative texts from my mother have ended, thank god. Emma could never be bothered with me in any capacity, so she’s radio silent. But before the race began today, I had to hear from Cody that my own father met with the company legal department to consider a libel suit against me, saying that my behavior at the gala damaged his reputation.

Cody thinks it’s another ruse or Dad’s throwing me under the bus because Mitchell Media stock is tanking and Dad needs a scapegoat. He doesn’t think Dad has a case but he has in-house legal so he can antagonize me indefinitely at no cost. Even if he doesn’t win, my reputation will be dragged through the mud again regardless. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to do it when I’m 7,000 miles away, and I don’t know how to keep up with the expanding media and sponsor events Sandra is throwing at me.

At least Lennox is doing well. He was on pole position yesterday during qualifying and took another second place today. Digby ended up in first so Lennox was a bit of a dick for the immediate post-race interviews. But Lennox won the fan’s Driver of the Day award and drove an amazing race, so tonight I plan to show him how proud of him I am.

As soon as he gets out of the debriefing they’ve been stuck in for the last hour, that is.

In the meantime, I’m in the dining hall waiting for him, sucking down as much espresso as I can to keep me awake without causing heart palpitations. I’m Googling ‘frivolous libel lawsuit’ on my laptop when Jack joins me with a triple espresso plus a giant mug of black Americano.

“I know why I’m tired but what’s keeping you up at night?” I point to his caffeine collection.

“The whole paddock knows why you’re tired,” he says before slugging down the triple shot.

“WHAT,” I croak at him. Lennox tiring me out is not what I meant, though he’s also technically making me lose sleep. Not just exhausting me with secret orgasms and make-out sessions in nooks and crannies of the track and motorhome when no one is looking, but we’ve also been talking and actually getting to know one another. Last night I caught myself looking at the old direct messages Kate sent him because I was jealous. I was disgusted with myself and stopped, but I know myself. I know when I’m starting to get a case of the feelings.

Reign it in, girl.

“I’m just teasing you,” Jack replies. Thank god. “You might want to keep it down, though. No one on the floor got any sleep last night with your caterwauling.
