It won’t last for long, but at the start, he’ll make a killing.

And I’ll get my share.

And yet… all I can think about is what
Dee
will think about that.

Will she begrudge my taking part in her father’s plan?

I know that I am going to fight, and I know that I am going to make money, and I know that I am going to be the best.

But I haven’t thought past that. I could go pro at some point like Glass will want me to, but dealing with the politics and intricacies on that stage doesn’t particularly interest me.

No, the more appealing idea is to just walk away when I’ve had enough, take my money, and go.

But it’s only more appealing if I have Dee going with me.

I suck on my lower lip for a moment, then engage with Glass who’s chattering animatedly about his plans.

I need to stop looking so far ahead with Dee.

There’s no telling how much she may have changed in these past six months, whether our last night together will mean as much to her as it still does to me.

And beyond that, there’s no telling about our future, about how things will play out.

Shit, everything could go to fucking hell.

I try to imagine the worst situations, the ones I hate the most, and find that in all of them, Dee and I are not together.
