“Roland glares at Connor and Connor glares back. Then he says what he always says at moments like this.

He was living day to day: you talk about your dreams, you boast about your talent, and you cop the Foamposites the day they come out because life is simply a collection of small victories. I didn't want to go out like that.”
Eddie Huang, Fresh Off the Boat
