Christian groaned as he woke up. The previous day was his birthday, and he scored the winning goal against Celta Vigo in the 92 minute. He and his team went out to have a big celebration. There was a lot of alcohol involved.

He sat up and rubbed his face. He grabbed his phone and saw a text from Hallee. He opened it up and saw a video of Sabrina and Morgan cheering when he scored. He smiled seeing it since he didn't know that they watched him play.  He figured Hallee didn't want to see him, but he smiled knowing that she did watch. He watched the video again and noticed that Clint was there too. So was Chris Evans. He knew that Hallee was good friends with him.

"Good morning!" A cheery voice said. He jerked his head up from replying and saw a woman standing there in a towel. His eyes almost bugged out.

"Hi," he muttered awkwardly.

"I'm guessing you don't remember me?"

"Uhm. I'm sorry no."

"It's okay. You had a lot to drink. I'm Isla," she smiled.

"Christian," he gave her a relaxed smile, "can I take you breakfast?"

"Sure thank you," she smiled.

"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow," Isla smiled as she got out of his car.

"Yeah," he grinned.

He hadn't been expecting to have such a good time at breakfast with her, but he did. He knew he had to move on with his life. When he was a teenager, he always figured he'd be married to Hallee until the day he died. But he wasn't going to be. He needed to find a new normal. Maybe Isla could be that new normal.
