The best thing after a workout!

“I don't even want to imagine what it'll be like when everyone agrees to do something stupid, hehe, but as they say, madness finds its own reason over time.”

She said this as she sipped her beer, completely relaxed and calm, while listening to Sari's plan.

“They didn’t teach you wrong—a belt… It’s not really something everyone wants to strive for. Sooner or later you’ll get it, and someone else will take it away from you. More than a purpose… It’s a goal, but not a destination… Now, love—hehe—if that’s what you consider it, go ahead and fight for the tiger.”

She’d say, laughing, before thinking about love… And the alcohol probably made her think of that.

“You know? A while back, I wanted to be the queen… I didn’t want anyone to be above me as a fighter, and in a fight… They broke my arm, haha—it hurt like hell, and actually, if I move it the wrong way, it still cracks, but I also realized that... if you chase something too hard, that very thing might stop you.”

Jenny found it funny what Sari was telling her about the group of misfits she belonged to. And why lie? The silly things she did together with that bunch of weirdos on her team were really funny.

What she didn’t expect was for them to agree with her about the title after hearing her “plan for L.A.W.” Both Fausto and Ana, with their rants about championships and heels, managed to kill any interest she had in that title. Jenmy wasn’t telling the truth: it was just another goal, not a destiny, but that comment about love made Sari blush a little with embarrassment.

She finally finished her first beer, so she ordered a second round. And boy, was she going to need it: Jenny explained that at the height of her career, when she felt invincible, an arm injury brought down everything she’d built. Sari knew all about that. How many athletes she admired or knew had seen their careers cut short from one moment to the next? “Sometimes chasing a dream destroys you,” she said in a subdued tone as she looked at her bottle. “…but you’re passionate about it, and that’s why it’s worth fighting for them and making them come true,” she finished, flashing a small smile.
