It's the same thing that the Queen's telling him when they meet after two days of celebratory parades in Manchester and London.
Zayn dares anyone to go back in time and try telling his kid self that he'd one day be in a suit, standing in front of the Queen, receiving a compliment on his skateboarding. How did the Queen even know what skateboarding was? It was a ridiculous thought, of course she knew what it was, but to go from a sport associated with crime and illegal activity, to being recognized by the highest royal in the West, was unbelievable.
Later on in the night when they meet up for dinner, Zayn chews Liam's ear off, talking about how incredulous he feels about everything.
"And I have faith you can do it all over again," the man responds confidently, eyes twinkling with tender conviction.
Zayn's not so sure about that. If he does make it in four years, he'll be thirty one, so it'd definitely be his last major competition, but if he doesn't, the one time was good enough for him. He got a medal, an Australian sunkissed boyfriend, and memories to last a lifetime.
