It all started with a thrown ring, a drink and the stars. It seems everything that conects them has something to do with the stars, so far away from them but so close to their hearts.

I adjust my dress making sure everything is in place while Carlos rings the bell.
The door opened and her father appeared. My goodness Carlos is literally a copy of his father.
-So glad you could come- Said his mother, who had come over to greet us while hugging him.
-Happy birthday Dad- Carlos said when he got to his father.
After greeting his father, Carlos took my hand, bringing me closer to his side.
-Mom, Dad, I'm so glad you can finally meet my girlfriend, Valentina.
His mother approached me, took me by the shoulders looking at me and hugged me effusively. Oh well.
-You are even more beautiful than in photos, Carlos has talked so much about you.
-I hope good things only...thank you so much for inviting me- I tell her, a smile creeping into my lips.
-Happy birthday Mr. Sainz- I tell his father, holding out my hand for him to shake.
He looks at it somewhat puzzled, I immediately think I've done something wrong but he ends up taking it.
-Call me Carlos please, you're part of the family now.
-Well happy birthday then Carlos.
-That's better, we're making a barbecue, do you like it?
-I love it.
-Amazing! Come on, everyone is already on the backyard.- he said guiding us to where the rest were.
I look back at my boyfriend and he's grinning from ear to ear. Could this be what I've been searching for my whole life?
I also met Ana, her boyfriend Rodrigo and Blanca's boyfriend Guillermo.
-And what do your parents do, Valentina?- Reyes asked me while we were eating.
I could hear Carlos clearing his throat next to me.
-Mom.
-No it's fine Carlos, don't worry.- I say taking his hand and giving it a little squeeze so he knows I dont mind talking about it- My mother is a lawyer, my father is a teacher. But I have not had contact with them for years, I have lived with my sister since I was 16.
There was a somewhat awkward silence, with no one else knowing what to say until Blanca finally broke the silence.
-Miriam right?- She asked- Carlos told me she's a nurse. Will she be going to the Barcelona GP?
-Yes, that's the plan. She and my sister in law Nia will be there.
Carlos Sr. asks his son about his next race, noting that this was not a topic I wanted to continue talking about.
I appreciated the change of subject.
