to hold it against your bones
rated m // charles leclerc/max verstappen // ch 2/4
There had been a decidedly substantial lack of optimism in Charles’ life, was how the doctor had put it kindly. Thirty days of variations on finding the ways to make lemonade from the lemons life has been pelting at him. The analogy pisses him off, a little. He looks for the silver lining, but it’s a bright, cloudless day on the border of Italy and France. Four counts in, six counts out.
or; Max and Charles find each other on a train in the stifling summer heat.
