"So how do you like Monaco?" Lando's 'friend' Maggie asks Tina while they are having lunch in one of the cute bistro's in Monte Carlo.
"I like it here, but I feel a bit like I don't belong here." Tina admits.
She has been hanging out with Maggie a lot whenever she is with Charles in Monaco.

Often when Charles is working out or doing something for the team the two girls meet up for a coffee or some lunch. They get along very well and even though Lando and Maggie aren't officially dating, Tina knows they are definitely not just friends.

"Why wouldn't you belong here?" Maggie asks her.
"Because I'm just a simple girl from Slovenia. Everybody here is so sophisticated and perfect." Tina has been with Charles for a while now and everything is going amazing between them, but she still feels like an outsider when she is here.

"Oh honey you do realize about 75% of those sophisticated people here are fake as hell and not very nice to be around. You are like a breath of fresh air and I'd rather spend time with you than all of those 'sophisticated' brats." Maggie is brutally honest, never hiding her opinion for anybody. Maybe that's why Lando likes her so much and Tina really enjoys her company because she doesn't have to pretend to be somebody she isn't with her.

Maggie is born in a working family as well, but her father was able to get an amazing opportunity in the company he was working for so they moved to Monaco when she was a teenager.
This means Maggie is very down to earth, but also used to the lifestyle over here.

"I guess. Hopefully I'll get used to it someday. I really love Charles and I can see us having a future together. I don't think he would ever move from Monaco, so if we would ever take the next step and decide to live together it would be here."

Maggie nods, she would love to have Tina here, but she also understands where she is coming from.
"It will be fine. You've got Charles to support you and you've got me. Besides if you would move here, wouldn't that make your job a bit difficult to do?" Maggie asks her.

"Yeah, well not for the raceweekends of course, but in between if Stevie needs me it wouldn't be the best idea for me to be living here. As long as she still needs me for those sweethearts I'm not moving anywhere. The idea of not seeing Cole and Zara and ... Stevie as much isn't really something I want to think about yet."

There she almost said something about the baby. She hasn't even met the new baby yet and she won't for a while, but she can't wait for him or her to join the family and take care of this little one as well. It will be the first time she will be a nanny of a newborn. Zara was still a little baby when she started working for Stevie, but this baby she will be around from birth and she is super excited about that.

"But you do know that Daniel won't be racing for years and years to come. So eventually they might move to Australia or LA or stay in the UK, I doubt they will still need you as a nanny once he retires." Maggie states, it might be tough to hear, but of course Tina already knows that. She just hopes Daniel will keep racing for a while, because she really doesn't want to say goodbye to this family.

"Can we talk about something else. It's making me sad to know that at some point I won't be there with them anymore. I mean I am not with them now, but that's only for a few days. I will see them again in Imola." She takes a bite from the delicious salad she ordered.
"Sorry, I will keep my mouth shut. So Italy, that's always hectic for the team with all the Tifosi out there." Maggie finishes her iced coffee and orders another one.

"Yeah I remember Monza last year. That was the first race I went to as a try out with Stevie. But oh my god those Italian fans, they are amazing but so passionate. Which I understand of course with the amazing history Ferrari has in Formula one."
In Monza she met Charles, they had their first date there, their first kiss.
