Woman Warrior

I thought he’d be mad about the water incident, but he seemed to feel some sly joy because I’d started a fight over him. He’d already told me how unfortunate he thought it was that I wasn’t more competitive. When I told him for the thousandth time that I didn’t want to go out with him for a run, he said, “You’re really fine, but if you were a bit more of a fighter and bothered to exercise, you’d be a perfect ten.”

Up to now, I’ve never been very interested in competition or sports, and I’ve never had any need or interest in beating or being better than others. But I’m not going to lose to her, no fucking chance.
