Naya watched Jude as he trained with his Real Madrid teammates. It was the first time they had been in the same place as each other in a little less than a week, and she honestly didn't know how to feel.
Although she'd been the one to sanction their break, part of her wanted to run into his arms and get lost in him, but she understood that they needed to make sure they were on the same page before moving forward.
Even though they were apart, he never let a day go by without sending her a message to remind her of his love, ensuring that she felt his presence from afar.
Naya was able to go the better part of a week without seeing Jude, but the night before, when she called him in tears as the weight of their temporary break felt a little too heavy, he put his foot down and set a date for her to meet him at his training ground the very next day.
She couldn't help but admire how he always knew exactly what she needed, even when she didn't know it herself. As she watched him sprint across the field, the determination in his eyes mirrored the strength of their love.
Naya knew that they had a lot to talk about, but seeing him in his element, giving his all on the pitch, made her heart swell with pride. She felt a sense of calm wash over her as she realized that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always find their way back to each other.

Naya felt her heart swell with emotion as she looked into his eyes, seeing the depth of his emotions towards her.
"I love you and I'll do anything to make things right between us," Jude continued as he used the tip of his thumb to wipe away a tear that fell from Naya watched Jude as he trained with his Real Madrid teammates.
