Summary:

“Don’t call me anymore.” The words are clear, concise, cutting.

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

“Don’t call me anymore.” The words are clear, concise, cutting.

And yet Beth feels like he’s speaking French.

All she had wanted was money and for Benny to be her second.

(And okay, maybe that wasn’t all she’d wanted. But maybe is a loser’s word, Beth now knows.

Because Benny had made it perfectly clear in New York that he hadn’t wanted anything more than chess and maybe convenient sex from her.)

So she’d asked for money. After all, Moscow had been his idea in the first place.  

All she wants now is to win.

But even that seems lost.

Notes:

yes, my title song lyrics are very on the nose. what about it? Also yes, be prepared for RED angst from me.

Title from "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift
