(Lucy Bronze and Ona Batlle)
Lucy Bronze looked at her phone, a grin spreading across her face. The notification she'd been waiting for had finally come through: a weekend off. Chelsea had given her a short break, and immediately, her thoughts drifted to Barcelona. More specifically, to Ona Batlle, her girlfriend and the reason she couldn't keep herself from booking a flight to Spain the moment she saw her free schedule.
Being in a long-distance relationship with Ona was always challenging, especially when football was a consuming part of both their lives. Ona played for FC Barcelona, and Lucy was holding her own as one of Chelsea's best defenders. With training, games, and international commitments, it felt like their schedules were never quite aligned. But this time, fate seemed to be on her side. And she knew exactly what she wanted to do with it.
Within minutes, Lucy's fingers were tapping her way through a last-minute flight booking. "Surprise for you, Ona," she whispered to herself with a little smirk.
