Has David left the weight room. He walked towards the locker room; his mind was still stuck on the awkward moment from earlier. He was still trying to process everything.
Ronaldo had gone from being weird at first—talking to someone in a language David didn't understand—to being friendly, warm, and exactly how David had always imagined him to be. But then, like a switch had been flipped, he had gone cold, shutting David out completely.
David had spent over two hours in the gym, pushing himself hard, hoping to make an impression. Yet, during that entire time, Ronaldo had acted like he didn't even exist—not speaking to him, not even acknowledging him. Even when he had finally left, he hadn't spared David a glance.
