Back-up plans are for people who plan on losing.

But all it took was eight seconds for me to win the biggest competition of my life, and one second to lose everything except that championship buckle.

It was just a little fire. Tiny, even. But that didn't change the fact that Ray Griffith didn't want me anywhere near him.

But we came to an agreement: I ignore him, and he doesn't fire me.

Easy, right? Not so much when we can't keep our hands off each other . . .
