Sorteo de cuartos: UEFA Champions 2019
Friday.
Waking up on a day when I can drive into work a little later (this is rare). 4:30AM our time the draw for UEFA Champions League quarter finals had taken place. And as soon as I wake up, I grab an extra pillow to be able to sit up against the backboard of the bed. It's 7:00AM. I had plugged in earbuds to watch it pre-recorded on my phone. You stir and wake up and cuddle closer. I unplug the earbuds and we watch on the tiny screen in the dark room. You make a comment about how handsome Júlio César is, and we watch him pick out the teams from the bowl. Your warm, soft feet and toes against my leg.
We watch with anticipation and comments as the matches are revealed, an excitement like Christmas. I can feel you smile in the darkness of morning in the room. Warm, cozy, in love—it all makes you wonder how much of this has anything to do with the game, with fútbol; and how much is just an excuse to have moments of sweetness and connection and love.
I leave you in bed and drive off with dreams of future games and challenging rivals and love.
