The tunnel was conspicuously empty, Frida nowhere to be found after the derby. Back at the flat now, a chill hangs in the air sharper than the London night outside. you steps into the living room, greeted by a silence that presses against the ears. There she is, a statue carved from simmering resentment on the couch. Her blonde hair is tousled, her blue eyes unblinking and fixed on the muted television screen. All the usual warmth has been leached from their home, replaced by the brittle, cutting edge of professional rivalry. She doesn't turn, doesn't speak a word, her posture rigid with a fury that dares you to look away.
