Robyn sighs. But not out of frustration at Sue being, well, Sue. No. Her frustration was directed at herself. Frustration at the fact that despite everything she’s been through over the last year, despite everything she accomplished, she had more of a challenge defeating Sue than she did a year ago.
Sue was faster, stronger and simply overall better than she was the last time they fought. The gap had closed. Of the two, it was Sue who was progressing at a faster rate. Perhaps, she was the only one who was progressing at all.

Robyn clenches a fist and swallows hard. No, don’t think like that. But Sue’s words in the Tweetstagram video she posted before their match come flooding back. Was Sue… right? Was she really the same loser she always was?
