Summary
In the days between Wales and Slovakia, Dele listens to nothing but Joe’s classical playlist. It’s fantastic and varied and the music playing in his head keeps the training slog in Chantilly at the Stade de Bourgognes interesting. The hotel is beautiful even though he can’t say its name without sounding daft, and he’s passed out in his room, sprawled extravagantly on his bed after a morning session, Shostakovich blaring from his headphones.

Summary
Dele pretends he’s not nervous when he creeps to Eric’s room a few minutes after his neighbors lock themselves in for the night. He and Eric have never done this – go to each other’s rooms. They’ve laid in bed and kissed lazily between two-a-days, they’ve kissed in each other’s cars, they’ve fallen asleep holding hands in the common room at the training ground. But it’s night, and the way Eric looked at him on the bus was enough for Dele to know. If Dele wanted it to be, it could be different tonight.
