Josephine's POV

I enter in the office not in the best mood and Douglas seems to notice it.

In the past days, I didn't slept that much since I have tons of things to do, I kept working even at home.
The only moments that I spent for myself were when Hero FaceTime me before go to bed, pretty early, to make sure that he gets enough sleep to charge his batteries.

Today is the match day and this thought keeps throbbing my head.
I want to be there this evening but even if I get in a car right after work I wouldn't be able to be there even for the half of the match.

I sigh loudly keep checking the many events and meetings scheduled for the next days.

I already miss the twins, they left two days ago.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Douglas voice brings me out of the many thoughts that were almost making me drawn.
"Mmm?" I ask him since I heard just a half of his question.

He turns in my way spinning his chair.

"It's clear that there is something wrong. Do you want to talk about it?" he asks taking his glasses of and leaning back placing his back on the headboard.
"Nothing, it's just Hero tonight plays his first match after his accident.." I tell him looking at the computer but not really focusing what is written on the display.
"And you are here..." he says understanding why am I sighing every five seconds.
"But are you sure that he will actually play tonight?" he says and then I look at him furrowing my eyebrows.
"The coach didn't told them nothing yet but anyway I wanted him to feel my support even if he will spend the entire match in the bench." I tell him kinda angry at him.
"Yeah you're right." he says but then I go back to my work ignoring him since he doesn't really help me to feel better.

I write down in my planner the many meetings that me and Douglas will have to attend in the next days.
"Listen." Douglas says and I sigh again already tired of this work stuff.
I turn in his way and I see him showing me his laptop.

I read and it's a flight time.
It says: From London to Liverpool,
48 minutes

"If you get out three hours before the match and get ready, go to the airport and take this flight, you will make it for the match." he says pointing his finger on the display letting some fingerprints on the glass.
I keep looking at the flight tickets that he searched and I plan everything in my head and I get to the conclusion that he is right:
"But how your will do everything without me?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes.
"First of all, are just 3 hours not 3 days, second I am a grown ass man, third you can keep working on the flight and four I'll ask help to Chris assistant or to my friend so don't worry, will be everything fine." he says and then I can't contain myself and I jump on his arms.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I tell him spreading happiness form every pore in my skin.
"Your welcome and now I want to breathe again." he says giggling and then I realise how tight my hug is.
I smell his aftershave and I step back.
"I'm sorry." I tell him while I'm brushing my hair away.

I see his cheeks blushing while my heart is beating so fast. I really can't believe it! I'm going to Liverpool! Can't wait to see Hero's face.

"Don't worry and now, you better book that flight!" he says so I sit down pretty quick and book the flight.
I also look up how distant is the airport from the Stadium and it's just 26 minutes away, so I book even a taxi to come pick me up and take me straight to the stadium.
