It’s lucky you’ll probably never do a single selfless, decent thing in your life, and that everything that happened today fits in, in some crazy way, with that greedy, retarded behavioral pattern of yours.” He stared at her quizzically. “Lucky?” She started for his fighter, walking tiredly. “Lucky for me.”
