Leo had finished eating and pushed his empty plate aside.
Lunch had been good as always, though he wished he could eat a bit more; after the team's dietician raised concerns about Leo gaining weight, Dawson had cut his meal down.
Sitting back in his chair, he listened to the conversations around him without particularly joining in.
Across the table, Carlo was scrolling through his phone when he looked up.
"I think our list just got released."
"Yeah?" Leo said, then began glancing around for his phone.
Carlo nodded, looking back at his screen.
"Yeah. We got called up."
"Oh, okay."
Leo reached for his phone and opened the announcement himself.
The Italian squad list was already on the national team's website, and he didn't have to scroll far before finding his name among the first few selections.
He gave it a quick look before putting his phone down.
"Congratulations, then," Reyes said from further down the table.
"Thanks."
