Summary
England wins, Norway is eliminated.
Then, Erling promises Jude they'll talk later, and he agrees.
Because Jude always believed there would be time. After the World Cup, after training, after the next match. After...
After what?

Summary
“If I told the media that I missed you like a brother, what would you say?”
“These are some next level mind games ahead of the match, Jude,” Erling snorts. Not that there’s anything remotely funny about what they’re talking about.
“Erling,” Jude tries, and it works, not because Erling is pathetic, but because this is the first time he’s heard Jude call his name in over a year.
So actually, maybe that does make him a bit pathetic. Whatever.
Or,
Jude is good at the whole self-discipline thing. But just ahead of England's match against Norway, it all comes crumbling down when he thinks of Erling, when Erling thinks of him, and when the internet thinks of the two of them together.

Summary
„Come up after the tournament. Stay here for a few days.“
Jude has spent years teaching himself not to look for meaning in late-night messages, birthday calls, and plans that never quite happen.
Then Erling asks him to come to Manchester, and Jude says yes before he can pretend to think about it.In a house Jude knows from video calls but has never entered, with rain against the windows, cold tea on the table, and fajitas waiting in the kitchen, the distance between them finally becomes harder to preserve than to cross.
Their words may have forgotten how to be close, but their bodies still remember.

Summary
The fountain murmurs, and the breeze blows. It’s cool against the rush of heat that hits Jude’s face at the sight of his old teammate standing before him this late at night.
“Why are you here?” Jude blurts out, because he can’t yet say any of the other things racing through his mind.
Erling seems amused by his question. His lips quirk up into a smirk. Jude forces his mind away from the memories of being eighteen and wanting something more than what he had.
“I wanted to find you.”
After the England vs. Norway game, Jude takes a walk by the river to try to clear his mind. He doesn't get much time alone.

Summary
Jude Bellingham has always been good at reading a football match.
Reading his best friend after Norway loses to England in the World Cup turns out to be much harder.
