The bustling city of Barcelona welcomed the Formula 1 circus once again, as Alexandra and Charles arrived for the next race. The energy was palpable, the streets adorned with passionate fans from around the world, and the smell of anticipation hung in the air. Amidst all the excitement, Alexandra made her way toward Charles' trailer, ready to unwind and share some moments of calm with him.
She'd spent the morning on set, filming with Robert and Cillian as the movie was finally getting closer to wrapping, the only scenes being left to film were the actual races, with a few scenes left to shoot on location at each race. With the majority of 'Champion' completed, Alexandra felt a huge weight lift off of her shoulders.
As she entered, Alexandra's eyes lit up with joy as she spotted Charles sitting comfortably on a sofa, engrossed in a book she had introduced him to just a few days ago – "Fahrenheit 452" by Ray Bradbury. She couldn't help but grin at the sight. It warmed her heart to see that he had taken her recommendation seriously and delved into the pages she cherished so much.
Charles looked up from the book as he heard Alexandra's footsteps approaching. A smile spread across his face as he put the book down and stood up to welcome her with a sweet kiss. He admired the sparkle in her eyes, knowing that she'd be delighted to see him reading the book she loved.
She settled down beside him, leaning against his shoulder, and asked, "So, what do you think of it so far?"
Charles looked pensive for a moment as if contemplating the right words. "I love it," he finally said.
Alexandra nodded in agreement and then started to flip through the book until she found a passage that Charles had highlighted in yellow. As she hummed to herself, Charles patted the seat beside him, inviting her to read it out loud.
"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?"
Charles smiled knowingly, knowing that this quote would resonate with her deeply. "I figured you'd be drawn to that part," he said, admiration evident in his eyes. "I think that sometimes, people need to feel sadness to feel happiness."
Alexandra's admiration for Charles grew as they shared their thoughts on the book. She reached for it and flipped through the pages until she found another quote that resonated with her, smiling when she saw he'd written her name in the margin of this one, besides the highlighted quote.
"Why is it," he said, one time, at the subway entrance, "I feel I've known you so many years?"
"Because I like you," she said, "and I don't want anything from you."
Charles chuckled heartily as Alexandra read the quote, and he gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "This one reminded me of you," he admitted.
Confused, she raised an eyebrow, asking, "How so?"
