Chapter Eight

Race Day

I wake up the next morning feeling invigorated and downright excited. It’s amazing what a good roll in the hay will do for your worldview, I guess. It’s the morning of the Moscow Grand Prix, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I can’t wait to get to the course.

Growing up, F1 races were the highlights of my year—but this season has been so fraught with conflict and indecision. Today is the first time in a long while that I feel something akin to the charge I knew as a younger girl on race day. I feel uninhibited and weightless, ready for whatever the day throws my way. And while I certainly credit Harrison with some of this new energy, I think what’s really got me smiling is the idea of finally, at long last, letting my family in on my little secret. It’ll feel so wonderful to finally be honest with them.

In no time at all, I’m dressed and ready in my race day uniform: tight jeans, leather jacket, black tank. I smile to myself as I appraise my appearance in the mirror. This whole ensemble has me looking every inch Harrison Davies’ girl. What’s that they say about couples coming to look like each other over time? I run a daring red streak of color over my lips and draw up curls up into a high ponytail. I feel confident, sexy, and unafraid of anything. It’s time to stop cowering from life, time to start living at top speed.

It isn’t until I’m standing in front of the mirror, grinning at my own reflection, that my memory starts up like a kick drum. I feel the breath catch in my throat as I cast back beyond my wonderful night with Harrison, back to my father’s hotel room. Sudden tears surprise me as the dark truth of our circumstance settles in around me. Part of me was hoping that Dad’s news would disappear overnight, that I would wake up this morning and realize I’d dreamed it all up. But no such grace arrives to save me. My dad, Alfonso Lazio, F1 champion and legend in his time, is dying.

I sink down onto the floor, overcome with warring emotions. How can I be so heartbroken for my father and so elated at the prospect of my future with Harrison all at the same time? Thank God I don’t have to give any press conferences on either subject today. I still need time to make sense of all this. I need to find some way to wrangle the chaotic, conflicting elements of my life and bring them all into harmony with one another.

Right. Easy as pie, then.

“Siena?” I hear Bex call from beyond my door.

“Hey Bex,” I call, swallowing my tears, “Come in.”

She slips into my room, rocking two inch red stilettos and daring white jeans. Her blonde hair is blown out and gorgeous, she’s definitely getting the hang of this F1 chic thing. The smile on her lips wilts as she catches the look on my face.
