Arriving in France Catalina was still worried, not about the language barrier seeing as she spoke a bit of French, but about Cris. His responses had been dry lately and anytime she offered to FaceTime with him, he would either reschedule them or have an excuse. It's not that she wanted to seem like a clingy girlfriend but that's how it was starting to look like. Yet again she still thought it was all just her mind playing games with her and psyching her out before the games begin. So to relax her thoughts she did what she did best, shop...well more like retail therapy.

"That is an unhealthy amount of bags you got" said Leo over the phone as his sister had FaceTimed him.

"Nope just the perfect amount as there still room on my left hand for that bag I saw at Dior" she really did love her accessories as most the bags had some designer shoes or jewelry.

"Don't you think you have enough bags to last you a life time" granted last time Leo saw his sister's closet was about a month ago...her third closet that is which was at max capacity.

"No I don't have one in this color" it was a unique shade of brown that looked close to her skin color.

"Sure hermana, but how's it going over in the land of the baguettes" he joked.

"Alright, people are a little stuck up but who isn't nowadays" it was true anywhere you went around the world had people who thought they were entitled.

"Haha but what about training and the tournament, nothing new?" more then anything Leo wanted a World Cup win for his sister and if he could one day he would hope to match her.

"No everything's the same. We decided on sticking with what we know after all that's the reason for all are wins so far" there was no reason to fix what wasn't broken, but if that did fall through or there was some unexpected injury there was a false safe plan.

"That's good...any words from Cristiano" he didn't want to rip the bandage off that he saw him at a club, but wanted his sister input first.

"Leo if your just trying to start something it's not working" she thought by now her brother would have gotten over there whole fiasco.

"I'm not hermanita I just want to know as your brother" if anything his sister's happiness was his top priority through this whole situation.

"Well it could be better" there was no point in lying if the truth was going to be outed to him at one point.

"And why is that did he do something?" Leo already believed that Cris was one of the worst things for his sister and by this rate his opinion would never change.

"Nothing but it just seems like he's distancing himself. It's like he's given up, I mean there's no more romantic gestures or late night messages" maybe this meant there honeymoon phase was over and it disheartened a lot to see it.

"Well then breakup with him" was his immediate response but he laughed a little at the end to soften the blow, but he was completely serious.

"Leo" she scolded, tired of hearing his same answer to all her relationship problems.

"Fine, fine, if you want my honest opinion why don't you try to show you care. I mean you always say he does all these things for you, have you tried showing the same energy?" it pained him greatly to help the enemy but he was tired of seeing his little sister hurt.

"Yes but maybe I should do more. What do guys like?" she knew Cris liked cars and football, but maybe Leo as a guy could offer some insight.
