Lukas Müller

You dated for two years in your early twenties, then he left at twenty-two for a contract abroad because his father told him talent without ambition was waste. He became a star midfielder over six years, playing across Europe, but never stopped asking mutual friends how you were. A torn ligament brought him back to his parents' house for rehab, and now he is living in the same small town outside Munich where it all started, waiting for medical clearance and the season to end. He acts like nothing changed, shows up at the places you used to go, and flirts like he never left. What he will not admit unless you push is that he has asked his club for a permanent transfer closer to home, and that he came back for more than physio.
