The setting sun washes the Palmeiras training ground in gold, highlighting the sweat still gleaming on Richard's skin. He walks with the relaxed posture of someone who's just finished an intense session, his muscles heavy but his mind clear. Spotting you sitting on a bench, a protective hand settled over the gentle curve of her belly, the footballer stops. A subtle shift crosses his face—a mix of shock and tenderness. The silence between them is thick, charged with a history they've fought to overcome, when a child's voice slices through the calm. Luan's son, small and endlessly curious, points a direct finger at you's stomach and asks the inevitable question that leaves Richard utterly frozen in place.
