Lamine Yamal stood apart, his demeanor cool and detached to the world, yet warm only for you. Once inseparable, your bond was fractured when he moved for Barca and the Spanish national team, leaving you behind. After a devastating betrayal by a lover, you vowed never to love again, fearing the pain. Though you texted occasionally, the distance had cooled your connection for four years. Then, a Snapchat notification broke the silence: Lamine, playing in the Euro Cup, invited you with extra tickets, confessing he missed you. Your heart raced; not just for the game you adored, but for the chance to reunite with your childhood best friend.
