Staring at her screen in shock, Y/N looks at the signing announcement. Glancing at Logan, sat with a smile on his face, she frowns.
"Darling, did something happen?"
Turning to her boyfriend, "They signed Carlos, but-"
"Oh."
"Oh baby, he didnt tell you? Bastard."
"He's your father. He just probably didn't want to upset you."
"To hell with that, Logan. He was discussing a contract with you and fuckings signs Sainz! It's not fair. To play with someones dreams, their life, like that. He's an ass, my dad or not, he's an ass for that."
Looking at each other now, the pain in Logan's eyes is obvious.
She moves to comfort her love, the man she's loved for years.
He didn't tell her when he signed for Williams, or even when his contract was extended. He knew no matter what, she'd be there. A singular tear slips down his face. His girl more upset than him. He thought he was going to be getting another shot to prove himself, but alas the cards did not play that way.
Phone chiming as Oscar texts, asking if the couple are okay. One single message from her father. 'I'm sorry' is all he wrote.
She knows its a business at the end of the day, but how can one be expected to perform against a grid of 2024 cars, when he is racing one from 2023. When his own boss, future father-in-law is saying how much he wants to replace him. He never stood a chance, he was only a seat warmer. Logan's head is a mess. All that's running through his mind is how much he failed, every fuck up, every DNF, Australia, and the only light he sees is her. His Y/N.
No matter what his future holds, he has his girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Logan has all of summer break to wallow in sadness. Cuddled with Y/N, watching trashy TV. As quick as ever, Zandvoort rolls around, and he is dreading facing the media.
Luck is not on Logan's side, forced to be on the press conference with Carlos. However Oscar's there too!
Most of the press don't bother to ask him anything, just assuming he won't have a seat and has nothing to add.
Logan's heard things about team principles shitting on Vowels, and the way he's treating Logan.
"And to Logan-" shocks him out of his daydream, "How did your girlfriend react when she found out you hadn't resigned with Williams?"
Logan chuckled, "Uhm, actually, we found out at the same time, James and I had been discussing a contract, and discussing my performance. I had no idea he'd signed Carlos. So yeah, bit of a shock to us both."
"And did you know, Carlos, that James was discussing with Logan?" Everyone looks at Carlos now. His respone is immediate.
"At first yes, I knew Logan was still a contender, but then he'd said that it was just me. So I didn't sign knowing Logan was still discussing contracts"
"And what does everyone think of Andretti appealing the FOM desicion and winning, now they'll be joining the grid for the 2025 season?" Everyone looka shocked at the interviewers question. Everyone but Logan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qatar. Hot. Humid. Sweaty. That's what Y/N feels standing in the Williams garage. Still, she's there to support Logan. And that's what matters. However, she is suspicious. Hiding phone calls, changing his phone password which used to be their anniversary. Logan's become really skittish since Carlos' signing was announced. He won't be cheating on her, she's sure of that. She has two thoughts, he's either joining Mick in the second Andretti Porsche seat, or he's proposing soon. Focusing back on qualifying, she notices all purple sectors for a Williams, her Logan's Williams.
Last minute of Q1. P13. He's done it.
The garage cheers and she just beams with pride.
Logan makes it to Q3, ending up P6.
He's happy with it.
~~~~~~~~
December rolls around with no news on Andretti's other driver. It's a hot topic in the media. Some think it'll be a rookie, some say Kimi or Seb will come back.
Logan grins going into the media pen after his best quali yet. This is his moment. He has a point to make.
"Logan! P5! How're you feeling?" Logan loves being interviewed by Natalie Pinkham.
"Feeling good, car is handling well, I always love racing here. It feels even better knowing next year I got a new team behind me." Smirking, he knows Natalie will pick up what he means. He just needs her to ask.
"New team?" Bingo!
"Yeah, Andretti reached out to me after
Monza, and well, yeah I just had to take the offer! Racing with Mick, and along side him will be fun! He's a good driver. We both had a rough two seasons to start, but the only way is up!"
" Thank you Logan! And good luck!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting down, he glances at his phone.
Over 50 missed calls from his love.
"LOGAN HUNTER SARGEANT! I MIGHT JUST KILL YOU YET!" He knows she's not angry, upset he didn't tell her, but not angry.
"You know gold washes me out!"
He laughs, of course she makes a joke.
That's why he loves her, she knows him better than anyone.
"Marry me"
Shit. He had a whole plan. He was gonna take her to Venice. They love Venice.
"Yes. I found the ring, two weeks ago, but I know you Lo, you have a whole plan. So my answer is yes. When you ask me properly. It's yes."
Giggling they embrace and share a tender kiss. "I'm so proud of you. I love you Lo, forever and always"
"Forever and always baby, me and you against the world"
