"But I know they thought I was the pushover too." Another shrug. "Don't really mind it when the other guy is doing the underestimating, you know?

I keep thinking 'bout how people here would say I ought to give a damn more 'bout it all, but all I feel is..." She wriggled one hand. "Victory. We won, they didn't." Beyond the vague disquiet of gaping smiles where mouths weren't, she was telling the truth.
