Between preparing for my next fight and driving Maya to and from Karley’s office to finalize the details for her divorce papers, August faded into September in the blink of an eye. Everything was going by in a blur and half the time, I couldn’t even remember what day it was. One night, after training with Knox for over four hours – and refusing to quit when he’d thought we were finished – he demanded I take a few days off to rest, and called for a mandatory chill night with our friends before everything went down. I hadn’t been happy about it in the moment because I needed to be in prime condition for this fight, but after a day or two without strenuous activity, my body truly thanked me for it. The fog that’d been clouding my brain lifted away and I was able to see that no matter how many hours or days I spent going ham in that gym, I was as prepared as I’d ever be. All I could do now was walk into that cage and focus on my opponent, just like Bernie had taught me and Knox constantly reminded me.

A week before the fight, Luis, Rey, and Liv came over as per Knox’s request. It just so happened to be Liv’s birthday too, so we’d bought some party decorations and a cake to surprise her. We had food, drinks, music, good conversation, and a few highly entertaining rounds of Heads Up. By the fifth round, I was ready to call it quits and head to bed, but apparently, I was the only old lady in the group. Knox had the phone to his forehead with the movie title Matilda displayed on the screen. Luis, in his inebriated state, was screaming different clues at the top of his lungs, completely overshadowing Rey and Liv’s attempts to play along too. Meanwhile, Maya and I were slouched on the couch, watching this all play out like an episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos. I kept waiting for Luis to get so hyped he’d fall on his face, but so far, the guy was holding seven beers pretty well. Aside from all the slurring, that is. He sounded like Mike Tyson and his famous lisp with the added Tourettes, from all the random shit he was belting out.

“I’m gonna grab something to drink. You want anything?” Maya asked beside me.

“Sleep. I want sleep,” I countered and she giggled softly.

“We’ll kick ‘em out soon enough. Don't bail on me now.”

“Trying here, I swear.”

“I can make some coffee if you want,” she offered.

Coffee actually sounded delicious, despite the four Amaretto Sours I’d knocked back a few hours ago, so I nodded and she winked, fully understanding my silent plea for a much-needed pick-me-up.

As she disappeared into the kitchen, Knox and Luis switched spots. Perhaps now, Liv and Reyna would have a shot at getting a word in. The topic was TV shows and the first card up was Dexter. Good ass show, by the way.
