"𝙄 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒 𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝘼𝙇𝙇-𝙉𝙀𝙒," Mason started cautiously, "But once you see the house in Manchester, you'll love it," he finished, a hopeful smile playing on his lips.
The statement hung in the air, and Y/N, taken aback, stepped back in shock. "House? What house?" she asked, her eyes widening with surprise and a tinge of concern.
Mason, realizing he might have revealed more than intended, hesitated before responding, "Well, I've been looking at properties in Manchester. I thought... you know, for us."
"For us?" Y/N repeated, her shock giving way to a mix of confusion and realization. The weight of the decision he was making became clearer, and a sense of urgency washed over her.
"So you've already thought about this." She frowned, shaking her head at Mason. She quickly walked around the table, trying her best not to get upset.
"Mason, I can't just uproot my life and live with you like that. This is a big decision," she explained, her tone gentle but firm.
He stared at her, a mixture of surprise and frustration flickering across his face. "But we're already living together. It doesn't matter."
Y/N took a breath, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Moving in together and potentially leaving everything behind are two different things, Mason. I have my own life here, my job, and my friends. This is a significant choice, and I need time to think about it."
His initial hope morphed into frustration, and he responded with an edge to his voice, "Y/N, I need you to be willing to support me."
She shook her head, her resolve unwavering. "Supporting you doesn't mean sacrificing everything for your decisions, Mason. We're individuals with our own paths, and I can't make such a life-altering choice without careful consideration."
Mason sighed, the weight of his career aspirations evident in his words. "Y/N, I need to focus on my career, and that means considering opportunities beyond Chelsea. I can't stay here forever."
The seriousness in his tone resonated with the room, and Y/N felt a mixture of emotions—understanding, concern, and a tinge of disappointment.
"But Chelsea has been your home for so long." Y/N frowned, thinking about the rest of the players. Mason's history at Chelsea goes back for years, everyone knew that.
Mason nodded with a hint of regret in his expression. "I'm exploring options, Y/N. It's a crucial time for my career, and I need to make decisions that align with my goals."
