![]() ![]() We’re getting ready for the party to celebrate our win. “If we do, it’ll be because of you,” Sabrina assures me. But now that I’ve got a taste of it-I really think we could take the whole damn thing!” “I mean, don’t get me wrong-winning that one was well fucking worth it. “I’m just sorry I can’t compete in the rest of the events,” I say, frowning. ![]() “Don’t ever let anyone accuse you of being humble.” “I think me picking you as champion really shows my genius,” she says, grinning at me with her sharp white teeth. I’ve never seen her look more gorgeous than in the full glow of gloating. Sabrina is over the moon that we took first place in her very first challenge as Captain. But I knew I wasn’t going to give up, and that meant there was no point whining or crying about it.

The fact that we worked together to make it happen is the best part of all. ![]() I’m floating on a cloud of euphoria, which is all the warmer because Ares doesn’t seem to mind that I won. The high-fives and back-slaps and compliments and congratulations are like a mainline drug straight to my brain. The elation I feel winning that first challenge is like nothing I’ve ever known. ![]()
