Summary
It’s been five years since then, and every day Charles wonders what happened. He’d asked all their mutual friends, and then he’d even tried just Max’s friends, and eventually he’d even decided to bother Sophie and Victoria, but nobody would tell him anything. Charles has thought of everything in that time: maybe Max was sick. Maybe his mother was sick. Maybe Red Bull had wanted something Max couldn’t give. Maybe Max had just decided he simply didn’t want to get in a car one more time.
Maybe he’d regretted what happened between them, and simply couldn’t look Charles in the eyes.
Without a single photo of Max in the last five years, Charles had even wondered, in his darkest, saddest moments, whether Max had died.
Now, standing in a patisserie, in a tiny rural town in France, Charles finally has his answer.
//
Charles has never been more lonely in his life. Then he stumbles upon Max and his daughter and he realises what he's been missing.
