As they savored their meal, the conversation flowed easily, touching on topics from their favorite books to their childhood memories. Elian was struck by how much they had in common, and how effortless it was to talk to Aria.
At one point, Aria asked Elian about his plans for the future, beyond the Euros. Elian thought for a moment before responding, sharing his dreams of playing for a top-tier club and winning major tournaments.
Aria listened intently, her eyes sparkling with interest. When Elian finished speaking, she nodded thoughtfully. "I have no doubt you'll achieve all that and more," she said. "You have the talent, the dedication, and the passion. You're going to do great things, Elian."
Elian felt a warmth spread through his chest at her words. It meant a lot to him to have Aria's support and belief in him. He smiled, feeling grateful for her presence in his life.
