We were supposed to spend Christmas in bed together

There would’ve been strawberries and champagne

He’d shower me with gifts, even though I told him not to

Now he’s lying in a hospital bed, and I hate myself

Diego believes in justice

He sees the world through the eyes of an innocent

That’s why it hurt so much when they attacked him on the field

He’s good—truly good

He doesn’t deserve this

Elena needs to help, but short of costing him his career there’s not much she can do

She needs to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid

She must remind him of what matters

They matter. Their love matters. Their dreams matter

Diego isn’t going to give up

Elena won’t let him...
