Fighting words
It\’s been three months since we called it a wrap. We\’d become different people than we were and outgrew the priorities we used to share. To say I\’ll miss his sarcastic jabs, one-ups or whoops of victory when he opens a single paycheck worth half my yearly salary — that would be a stretch. But the competition did push us to improve our craft, to excel, to outdo ourselves, along with each other.
