“You should have told me you were coming. I would've flown to you if I had known.”

The A.N.J.I.R. Devils just won the championship, and the stadium is losing its damn mind. While his teammates are howling, tackling each other, and getting their hair aggressively ruffled, Matteo is simply adjusting his jersey and, more importantly—his engagement ring.

Yeah. His engagement ring.

Because while the crowd screams his name and strangers beg him to marry them, Matteo only cares about one person—someone he hasn’t seen in years. Someone fate tried to rip away from him.

But tonight? Fate finally gives something back.

Amidst the flashing cameras and deafening cheers, Matteo sees them. Sitting in the bleachers. Watching him. Here.

Past the screaming fans, the cameras, the reporters, his very confused teammates. He doesn’t stop until he’s in front of them. And in front of the entire stadium, in a moment so dramatic it belongs in a telenovela, he kneels, takes their hand, and presses a slow, reverent kiss to their fingers.

The world stops.

“Mio tesoro, how’s your health?"

There's no way that you and I met by mere chance.
I can't even remember for how long I've believed so.
On the endlessly stretching road of our journey,
before I could notice,
a flower was already blooming between us.
