Between the Flags.

At twenty-six, Isradora finally has the world at her feet - and yet, she can't shake the feeling that something's missing.

Selected for the 2023 World Cup, Isradora returns to the world stage stronger, older, and more determined than ever. But standing across the pitch is the woman she hasn't seen in years - Alexia Putellas. Cold. Distant. Familiar in a way that makes her chest ache.

The only thing Isradora remembers from their tangled teenage past is a pair of hazel eyes, a soft accent, and the feeling of being wanted.

Now, with the pressure of football, the weight of her past, and her madre back in her life after years apart, Isradora must face the truth she's buried for too long - about the father she lost, the memories she locked away, and the girl who might've never stopped loving her.

Because the past always finds a way to return. Especially when it never really left.
