Pedri turned to Estella as she sighed involuntarily.
"If you're going to miss him so much, why didn't you go with him?"
Estella ignored the question and returned to the match.

When Spain won, Pedri was kicking around the house and Estella was watching the team celebrating on screen.
Gavi's joy made her happy too.

The next day, while the players were speaking one by one, it was Gavi's turn.
Estella watched him, smiling.
Insults began to be heard as he stepped forward and brought the microphone closer to him to speak.
Mostly to Barça and Gavi.
The insults continued as Gavi's words got stuck in his throat.
He just stood there with his head bowed when he briefly thanked everyone and stepped back.

Estella didn't know if she really should be here as she walked down the hall.
When she got to room 1009, she knocked on the door.
The door opened slowly, but Gavi was nowhere to be seen.
"Ansu, go back to your room. I'll be fine."
"Pablo?"
When Gavi opened the door a little more at the sound he heard, she saw Gavi's red eyes.
"Ella, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to be by your side. Are you okay?"
Although initially surprised, Estella reciprocated when Gavi wrapped his arms around her.
"Come in."
Estella sat on the bed when the two of them went inside.
"Did you come alone?"
"Yeah, actually I wanted to be there when I saw you like that."
It made her nervous to say these things, but she often reminded herself that it was okay.
Gavi sat next to her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"My heart is aching."
Estella caressed his cheek as Gavi whispered.
"I watched the game, Pablo, you were great. You're a great player, there will always be people who don't like you because it's football and there's always competition in business. And I... will always be here for you."
Pablo looked at him with wide eyes.
"Really?"
"Really, Pablo. Te amo."
Pablo froze for a moment, even as he was surprised to admit it.
The two of them kissed slowly but passionately as their lips connected before she could get over the shock.
"Yo también te amo."

Should I make the episodes longer?
