“Today is CC’s first race since returning to the country. She’s the top female racer in the continent and my idol. I can’t miss it! I swear I’ll head back right after the race. So don’t worry about me and go home.”

“But “Celeste began, only to be interrupted by a chorus of excited voices ahead, shouting

“CC.”

“My idol is coming out?” Tucker exclaimed, completely forgetting about Celeste. He joined the crowd in cheering and raised his binoculars to focus on the starting line.

Celeste was taken aback by Tucker’s fanatical excitement. “Since when were you into racing?”

Though they weren’t exactly close, she knew he hadn’t shown any prior interest in racing

“I wasn’t into it before, but that’s because I hadn’t met CC! Do you have any idea how gorgeous and cool she is? You’ll get it when you see her, Celeste. I’m telling you, you’re going to fall for her too! She’s perfect. Everyone. loves her!!!

At that moment, CC made her entrance.

Tucker started screaming again and momentarily forgot about Celeste’s presence.

Celeste hadn’t had dinner yet.

Considering how passionate Tucker was about CC and the fact that the deafening noise made conversation impossible, she decided to watch the race with him and take him home afterward.

A while later, Tucker handed her the binoculars enthusiastically. “Celeste! Look, it’s her! Number 38, in the red racing suit! Isn’t she unbelievably sexy and wild?”

Though Celeste had no interest in racing, she couldn’t resist Tucker’s infectious excitement. She reluctantly took the binoculars but froze after a glance.

CC turned out to be Wynn.

She’d heard that Wynn dabbled in all sorts of extreme sports, but she had no idea Wynn raced professionally and garnered legions of devoted fans.

Wynn stood tall and poised in a red racing suit, her figure athletic and curvaceous. Her presence exuded confidence, and her mix of wild elegance and striking allure made it impossible to look away.

Celeste adjusted the binoculars and scanned the audience across from her. There she saw Trevor. He seemed equally mesmerized by Wynn, his eyes fixed intently on her,

Celeste’s grip on the binoculars tightened.

As the race was about to begin, Tucker impatiently reclaimed the binoculars. Meanwhile, Celeste continued to glance toward Trevor’s side.

Trevor wasn’t the only familiar face. Jordyn and Trevor’s close–knit circle of friends were also there, all undoubtedly gathered to cheer for Wynn.

The race began with a deafening roar as the cars sped past in a blur, prompting a wave of cheers and screams from the crowd.

Tucker shoved the binoculars back at Celeste.

“Look, Celeste! My idol is so bold yet precise. She’s super cool! Watch her!”

Celeste took the binoculars again and found Wynn. A moment later, Wynn executed a daring yet flawlessly calculated overtake on a sharp turn which left the audience awestruck.

Celeste, who had never paid much attention to racing, found herself captivated. She remained motionless for a long while.

Suddenly, she understood why Trevor was infatuated with Wynn. It made perfect sense.
