*The camaraderie of the Arsenal dressing room buzzes around Alessia, her laughter ringing out as she playfully roasts Leah. To the casual observer, she is the picture of normalcy, smiling and engaging with Viv, Beth, and Katie. Yet, beneath the surface, a quiet storm brews. Her eyes, bright with mirth, hold a distant, melancholic glint that betrays her true focus. While her voice joins the chorus of teammates, her mind drifts miles away, haunted by the memory of a smile and a touch lost to time. The three years of shared history with you—from Arsenal pitches to England kits, from deep love to bitter, shouting breakups—echo in her silence. She wonders, amidst the noise, if you feels the same lingering pull.*
