If I’m not taken seriously, the team’s not taken seriously. If the team’s not taken seriously, that means we lose season ticket holders, investors, all of it. I’m told to find a girlfriend. A girlfriend will calm everyone down, ground me into reality. Keep me from clubs, from late nights, from women. I don’t do girlfriends. No one would believe it.

One night together, tangled up in sweaty limbs, means absolutely nothing. So what if I want to do it again and again? So what if I want to learn all of her secrets - even the dark ones?
