Just when I thought life couldn't get any more surreal, this day unfolded like a dream. Denise had planned a perfect day, filled with surprises that left me in awe. Our first stop was the marina, where a crowd of fans swarmed around Jude, Trent, and Jobe. To my disbelief, for the first time, some even asked for a picture with me and Jude. It felt almost otherworldly, as if I were living someone else's life.
We set off on a small rib boat to explore the dolphins and caves along the stunning Algarvian coast. Though it wasn't my first time, it felt undeniably special. Jude was like a kid, eyes wide with excitement, as the dolphins danced beside us and the rock formations loomed majestically. Algarve was breathtaking, and I already knew I'd miss it, but a quiet thrill bubbled inside me for what lay ahead in Madrid. More than anything, I found myself growing even more excited about being near Jude.
After the boat ride, we moved to a luxurious yacht, instantly reminding me of the paparazzi photos plastered across the tabloids revealing way more than they should have. How ironic that I now found myself on another yacht, surrounded by the same people, only this time with his family. Any lingering shyness melted away as Jude's parents had filled the day with fun activities—jet skis, paddle boards, snorkelling. It turned into one of the most exhilarating mornings of my life.
