Summary
“Do you think he’s okay?”
“Who?” Wout asks.
“Tadej. Do you think he’s okay?”
His teammate’s laughter echoes through the room. Jonas blushes immediately, caught red-handed, while Wout gently makes fun of him. The Belgian isn’t wrong. Worrying about Tadej Pogačar… the idea is ridiculous. Almost absurd. Jonas is perfectly aware that the Slovenian would never show the slightest concern for him in return.
~~~
His hands tremble against his legs, his fingers clenched so tightly they almost hurt. His mind is racing, unable to grasp a single clear thought. He wishes he could turn back time, erase every memory.
He just wants to go back… He wants his old life again.
Tadej wants everything to stop.

Summary
The pain and disappointment in Jasper’s eyes is palpable and Tadej turns away so as not to have to face it.
"Jasper, please, don’t make me say any more things I’ll regret later, just leave me alone and go away."
"All right, I’ll..."
"And there’s no need to leave your hotel room open, don’t wait for me."
"Tadej please, what’s the matter with you I... I understand how you feel I..."
"No you don’t, you’ve no idea what I’m feeling, stop pretending you can understand. You can’t understand what it’s like. Now leave me alone !"
They had always promised not to let cycling interfere with their relationship. But when Tadej breaks that rule, he never imagined he would have to pay so heavily for his mistake.
