joão had been dating you for some time now and your relationship was very stable. You got along with his friends and he got along with yours

in July 2021, before his season with Atletico Madrid began again, you and him went on a boat with two of his friends who were your friend’s boyfriends

he sat chatting to his mate behind him, talking about football

“My legs are begging for the pitch”

he laughed, taking a sip of his drink
