At four in the morning, when the world is quiet and everyone she loves is asleep, Aria Hastings lies awake and takes stock of the life she's built.
She's twenty-two.
She lives in Madrid with the boy she fell in love with at fifteen.
She's the mother of six-month-old identical twin girls.
And she's holding everything together by sheer love and exhaustion.
To the outside world, Aria is just Jude Bellingham's partner a familiar face in the background, a soft smile beside football's brightest star. But behind closed doors, she's navigating motherhood, anxiety, family wounds, and the weight of a life that grew faster than she ever expected.
This is not a story about fame.
It's about quiet mornings before the babies wake.
About the boy who always stood in front of her.
About growing up inside love instead of running from it.
About learning how to be gentle with yourself while the world watches.
About choosing each other again and again in the middle of the noise.
Between Us, Always is a soft, emotional football romance told through the eyes of a woman who loves deeply, feels everything, and is slowly learning that she doesn't have to carry it all alone.
