“Felt like it,” Hector said, wincing as he crossed his ankle over his knee. A fresh bruise bloomed purple beneath his cuff.

Hector didn’t look up. “You know it.”

He ordered an añejo tequila, neat, and settled into a corner banquette. The owner, a retired midfielder named Lucia, slid into the seat across from him. “You look like you ran through a wall tonight.”

Hector exhaled a slow smile. “Not tonight, Lucia. Tonight’s for the other kind of entertainment.” Hector Mayal - fucking after a match - Just the...

“Same place?” asked Mateo, his roommate on away trips, toweling his hair.

Hector Mayal’s.

An hour later, freshly pressed in a cream linen shirt and dark trousers, Hector stepped into Casa del Sol , a members-only lounge tucked behind an unmarked door in the city’s arts district. No cameras. No autograph hunters. Just velvet ropes, amber lighting, and the low thrum of a live jazz quartet. This was the part of his life no post-match interview ever captured.

A place where the scoreboard didn’t exist, and the only stat that mattered was how slowly he could make the night last.
