I don’t want to have to work so damn hard for so little. That’s all anyone in this town does. It’s their only option. And I feel like a selfish prick for wanting out most of the time, but not one of them can tell me they wouldn’t jump at the chance to get out of here if they could.

When I cost us a victory, I got the brunt of the backlash. When I won us a match, I got a slight nod as though Beckett approved of me doing precisely what I was supposed to do. As if I’d done the minimum and won.

He didn’t say I was his only. He said I was his favorite.
