"HI AMAIA. HEY Elsie." Pedri said, opening the door. Elsie ran over to him, wrapping her arms around his leg. "Oh." He bent down and softly pulled Elsie away from his leg. He brought her into his arms, carefully lifting her up.

"She's become really attached to you for some reason." I say, walking in through the door way, closing the door behind me. "It's cute."

"I'm not complaining." Pedri said, walking into his house. "Have you ever played football with her?"

"A few times. Fermin does more though." I say.

"I like football." Elsie said, wrapping her arm around Pedri's neck. "Can we play it?"

"Of course, Els." He said, placing her down on the floor so he could open the back door easier. Elsie ran out into the garden area. A football was lying on the grass and she ran over to kick it. "You should get her into professional football."

"I thought about it at one point." I say, walking over, with Pedri, towards Elsie. "I wouldn't know where to do it though."

"Barcelona obviously." Pedri says in a duh tone.

I laugh, "It would be a bit hard though because we live in London you know."

"Mami." Elsie yells out, kicking the ball over to me. I softly kick it back towards her. She giggles as she gets the ball.

"Move to Barcelona." Pedri shrugs. Elsie kicks the ball over to Pedri. He kicks it back to her, purposely kicking it harder so she would ran after it. "Why don't you live in Barcelona again?"

"My job."

"Quit your job." Pedri said.

"Not all of us are famous rich footballers Pedri. I have to work, for me and for Elsie." I say. Elsie runs back over the ball in her hands. She drops it at my feet.

"I'm bored." She says.

"You're bored?" I ask, raising my eyebrow at her. She nods her head. "You've played for like two minutes."

"But i'm bored." She says.

"Elsie, why don't we go play a video game?" Pedri said, bending down to her height. "Remember the one we played yesterday?"

Elsie nodded, "Yes." She said excitedly. She walked off into the house, Pedri and I following behind her.

Pedri grabbed my hand, stopping me from walking inside. "I know you have to work, but why not find a job here?" He asks.

"It's not the easy, Pedri." I say, looking up at him.

"I'll help you." He says.

I stay silent, thinking. "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"Maybe."
