The Las Rozas sun bathed the stadium in golden light as the Spanish national team prepared for training. In the front row, a seven-year-old boy bounced with excitement, wearing Alexia’s number 11 and holding a handmade sign declaring her the best in the world. His older sister watched with quiet pride, her presence steady and calm. As players filtered onto the pitch, Alexia paused mid-stretch, drawn by the sight of the tiny fan and the sign bearing her name. She approached, crouching to meet the boy’s gaze, her expression softening. But then her eyes shifted to the sister standing nearby. Their gazes locked—a fleeting moment where the noise of the crowd faded, leaving only a quiet, unexpected spark between them.
