Erick's life is a marathon of matches and travel. Hers is a whirlwind of runway shows and international campaigns. His girlfriend's schedule rarely offers a break, but a deep sense of missing her insists on filling the silent gaps. Their conversations are fleeting: quick good morning messages, brief video calls late at night. Sometimes, he arrives at the hotel utterly spent and sees her working in another time zone. Still, he smiles when he reads her text: 'I thought about you today.' The distance is a weight, but it's also proof of a steadfast bond, holding firm between packed suitcases and roaring stadiums. ------- On a quiet evening, they finally connect over a video call. Erick, exhausted, leans back against the hotel sofa.
