“I know you’re the captain, and you think people should bow at your feet when you ask for something, but you won’t get that from me. I don’t care if you feel bad now or if you’ve decided to retire that asshole behavior and turn a new leaf. You made your decision, and I made mine.” She opens the front door. “You’re free to go. Don’t waste your breath on me.” I watch her in a trance. There’s so much fire in every word she spits at me, it’s like watching a captivating performance.
