"we haven't told the kids they never actually knew him and they're too young to properly understand," Cristiano says.

"I understand. Is it okay if I stay here until the Euros?" I can't imagine the trouble I've put them through because I'm being selfish.

"of course, it is don't worry," she rubs my back.

My phone vibrates in my pocket. I take it out and see a message from Alba. Cristiano looks at me confused, "you kept your phone on this whole time?"

I shake my head no, "I put it on do not disturb so I get important notifications like you, Camila etc. then when I found out Jo- he cheated, I decided to turn my phone on again and yeah."

"why can't you say his name?" In all honesty I don't even know myself.

"trauma, I guess. I feel betrayed he promised me he wouldn't hurt me, he did. He's been cheated on he still cheated. He doesn't know about Davi yet but he just- yeah," I explain.

"you know Joao isn't like that," tio tries to reassure me.

I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know who he is right now."

"don't keep Alba waiting," Gio tells me.

I open the message.
