Kayla was a model, but she was also a student.
She schooled in the Netherlands, a prestigious university where she studied theatre arts, the course of her dream.
Kayla hoped to make it in Hollywood.
It was hard, extremely hard, but it was her dream. And when Sam learned about it, despite the many unpleasant stories that he already heard about Hollywood, he didn't try to kill her dream, rather he supported it.
Sam would support her in the best way he could.
This was why in the 2 days building up to Fulham's EFL Cup game against Preston in away ground, after spending another day with her boyfriend, Kayla finally returned to the Netherlands to focus on her school.
Sam wanted Kayla close after his first intimate encounter with her, but he did not let his emotions override his logic.
He knew that they had to focus on their budding careers and school.
