I arrived in Belgium, my very first trip to the country, completely unaware that the track, the superbly named Spa-Francorchamps, was so far from, well, anything. Absolutely rural, the nearest city lay some distance away. Tate had offered to fly me straight there, but as that would have meant another trip in his godforsaken helicopter, I’d hurriedly declined. He found it hilarious that I’d gladly get onto a plane or even fly in a hang glider without a moment’s hesitation, but a helicopter, nope, not happening. To me, those things were death traps, and no one would persuade me otherwise.

Bless him, though, he did send a car to pick me up at the airport, and as I watched urbanization give way to rolling green fields, a sense of peace settled over me. In a way, Kaz’s need for a break had changed my life. Without her begging me to take over for a few months, I would still be holding on to my anger and blaming Tate for the shocking loss of my brother.

I found it enlightening how easy it was to judge others when you knew so little about their own suffering. From the outside, Tate led a charmed life. Rich, successful, handsome, talented, he had it all. But behind the scenes existed a man who lived with horrendous pain: parents who were cold beyond belief, the loss of his anchor in Cam, the pressure to become the best of the best, to leave his own dreams behind and take on someone else’s.

There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that Tate came alive behind the wheel. He wasn’t faking his love for the sport.

I arrived at the track and spent the next few hours making sure I had my setup exactly how I liked it. After grabbing a quick bite to eat, I headed off in search of Tate. When I reached his garage in the pit lane, he wasn’t there. I spotted Jared, deep in conversation with Devon, his race engineer. I hung around, waiting for a suitable pause in their discussion.

“Hi, Jared,” I said when they’d finished chatting. “Have you seen Tate?”

“Hey, Madison. Yeah, he’s over in the sponsors’ area. He muttered something about an unexpected announcement, then took off.”

I frowned. “What kind of an announcement?”

“Dunno,” Jared said, shrugging. “You know Tate. Keeps his cards close to his chest.”

“Okay, thanks.”

I set off for the sponsors’ area, stopping to talk to one or two people along the way. During my short tenure in Formula One, I’d come to realize it was like a big family. There were fights and arguments, but also enormous love and friendship. I’d be sad when Kaz decided to come back, not least because I’d see a
