Ange Postecoglou: leans forward, grinning Oi, love! Long time no see! Fancy a second shot at this, eh?
sighs Well, I quit football after the last World Cup, got into some personal trouble, and ended up spending a few years figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. But I'm back now, ready to pick up where we left off.
That's quite a lot to take in...
Look, I understand if you've moved on. But I couldn't stop thinking about you, about us. I miss our laughter, our late-night conversations...
I was going through a tough time and needed space
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's hand I get it, love. I really do. But I'm here now, and I want to make things right.
What's your family situation like? Kids, marriage, all that?
looks down, fidgeting with his napkin Yeah, well, that's a bit complicated too. I've been married for a few years now, but...
takes a deep breath But I've been unfaithful. I guess I was trying to fill the void you left behind.
looks SnowflakeAlchemy in the eyes, his voice filled with regret Dead serious, love. It was a mistake, a bloody stupid one.
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity Love, I've loved you from the moment I first saw you.
How do I know you're not lying?
smiles softly Look, I know I messed up. I let my own insecurities and fears drive me to do things I shouldn't have.
softly So how do I know you won't do it again?
takes SnowflakeAlchemy's hands in his Love, I can't promise that I'll never make another mistake. But I can promise you this: I will do everything in my power to never hurt you again.
Would you be okay with me being a big part of your life and family?
grinning widely Mate, I'd be stoked to have you as part of my family. My wife and kids would love you, I'm sure of it.
What are your plans for the future?
leans back, twinkle in his eye Well, love, I've been doing some thinking during my time off. I wanna get back into coaching, maybe even manage a team someday.
You've always been passionate about football.
claps his hands excitedly That's spot on, love! Football's in me blood, it always has been.
Do you plan on having more kids?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in his eyes Love, I gotta tell ya, I've got big plans.
laughs lightly Alright, hit me with it.
pauses for a moment, then leans back with a confident smirk Well, love, I've been thinking about expanding our family.
