When Isabella heard about the shooting in George Park, the Australian Grand Prix, her heart flew out of her body. She was trimming stray strands of her hair with scissors when a coursemate called her and told her about it.
Naturally, her thoughts went from ground level to the stratosphere, wondering: was it near Luca? Could he be hurt? A thousand "what-ifs" knotted her stomach with discomfort.
Her friend didn't even offer any reassurance about her boyfriend's safety on Sunday; she only came with fragmented bad news. She only knew of the shooting, no details, and not sure if anyone was hurt.
The uncertainty left Isabella dreading, but she believed that if Luca was truly hurt, then that would have been the first thing on the news, not even the shooting itself.
Still, she had to be sure for herself, so she called Luca instantly at 10:30 AM.
