 After a tough loss in the quarter-finals for Portugal, Leilah and João happily live together in his house in Madrid. She managed to get a job at Marca Tv in which she keeps doing the same task as her previous job. The two of them go out a lot and they are considered the hottest couple in the football world right now. The league has now ended so they have as much free time as they want. Leilah has heard no news about Kevin, only football-related news. She doesn't know how he's feeling and she doesn't want to hear anything about it.
João: Good morning! You're just in time for breakfast!
Leilah: Damn, you cook now??
João: A little bit! Come on, sit!

She sits down and he serves her a plate of pancakes and some fruit. The flour he use to make the pancakes stained his apron and even landed on his cheeks.
Leilah: Aawwnn my little chef did a lot of work preparing breakfast!
João: Yeah I did! I had to read my mom's cookbook 3 times to understand! Is it good?
Leilah: It's fucking delicious!
João: Oh thank goodness!

He eats his own pancakes and cleans himself up from the flour.
João: You wanna go play basketball in the backyard??
Leilah: Baby, you know that I'm shit at playing basketball!
João: You're doing better though! Come onnnn!!
Leilah: Okay okay! Just lemme change into something good!

She takes her shorts and her Atletico jersey while he waits for her in the backyard with his own Portland Trailblazer jersey. She was about to go when her phone rang: An unknown number. She declines it and it rang again so she decided to answer.
Leilah: Hello...?

"Baby...I miss you...I miss your voice..."
Leilah: Kevin?! How did you get my number?! I changed it!
Kevin: I just needed to hear your voice...
Leilah: Okay, you've heard it, now bye.
Kevin: No no wait! I wanna tell you that I'm sorry...I'm sorry for everything...
Leilah: It's too late, I'm with João and this is how it's gonna be.
Kevin: I've acted like an asshole to you and you don't deserve it! I want to make it up to you! You're the love of my life...you're important to me...more than you and I can't imagine! Forgive me...
Leilah: No, I'm good where I'm at right now, I'm happy.
Kevin: Leilah please-
Leilah: Goodbye Kevin, and never call this number again...

She hangs up on her and blocks his number.
Leilah: Now I have to change my number again...

She goes to the backyard and plays basketball with João. Of course, he was twice as better as her but they still have fun.
Leilah: Okay okay If I make this shot, I choose what we order tonight!
João: Okay bet!

She shoots and she scores.
Leilah: AAAHHHHH LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

She runs around the backyard celebrating her bucket; it's her first one today.
João: That was a good shot!
Leilah: Finally!
João: So what do we order?
Leilah: Mmmhhh... Let's order from that new Italian restaurant! I heard that it's really good!
João: Sounds good, you still wanna play?
Leilah: Sure!

They continue playing as João gets more touchy when he plays defence.
João: Watcha gonna do huh?? Whatcha gonna do??
Leilah: Babbyyy!! Take it easy with defence!
João: Then you won't learn! Come on!

She runs past him and scored a layup.
Leilah: Holy shit I did it again!!!
João: You're definitely making progress!
Leilah: Oouff! With all that hard work, I deserve a nice power nap!
João: I agree, let's head inside.

He carries her inside the house and lays her on the couch.
Leilah: Wake me up if I sleep more than 3 hours.
João: Gotcha! Have a nice nap sweetheart.
