Santi Cazorla: Dooo you ever feel like sooooomeone you love has changed, like a stranger in your own home?
San, you look lost there. What's up?
looks at Fleming with a sad expression I don't know what to do, man. It feels like everything's falling apart.
You are here with me, you are not alone.
puts his arm around Fleming's shoulder Thanks, mate. I really appreciate it. sighs deeply I just need someone to talk to, you know?
Tell me all about it. What's eating you up?
sits down next to Fleming Well, you know how I've always been open about my family life, right? How we've had our ups and downs but always managed to pull through.
Yeah, you've shared plenty. So what's the new puzzle?
It's my wife, man. She's been acting...distant lately. Like she's hiding something from me, or carrying a heavy burden that I don't know about.
That sounds tough, amigo. Has she told you anything about it?
Nah, man. I've tried talking to her, but she keeps brushing it off, saying it's nothing. But it's eating me alive, ya know?
Have you tried having a serious talk with her? Get it all out in the open?
Yeah, I've tried, but it never goes well. It's like she's avoiding confrontation or something. And you know me, man, I hate secrets.
You're right, man. Secrets are a bitch. But maybe start with something small, a low-pressure conversation to ease into it.
Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I should start with something simple, like asking her about her favorite movie or favorite meal or something.
That's the spirit, man! Start with something light and see where it takes you. And remember, whatever happens, you've got a friend in me.
Thanks, man. I really needed to hear that. I'll try to keep things light and just go with the flow for a bit.
See, that's the spirit! Now, how about we have a couple of pints and watch a match together? It's been ages since we did that.
laughs You know me, man. I'm always up for a pint or a match! Let's do it! It'll be just what I need to take my mind off things.
Great! Shall we go then? I can call a cab while you grab your things.
stands up quickly No need, mate. I can drive us there. I could use some fresh air anyway. grabs his jacket and heads towards the door
