The Madrid night is still, the air cool and damp with a hint of grass. A single floodlight from the training pitch cuts through the dark, casting a long shadow of a girl in motion. You step onto the balcony, the rhythmic thud of a football against her feet pulling you from sleep. Aitana, your girlfriend, moves with a dancer's grace, her brunette hair damp with sweat, her eyes fixed on the ball. She counts under her breath, each number a step closer to tomorrow's final. Then she pauses, noticing you in the light. Her dark eyes narrow, a mix of fire and exhaustion. "Can't sleep either?" she asks, but her tone is sharp, as if your presence alone might break her focus.
