    Summary

    Life’s kind of always sucked for Patrick Zweig.

    He tells himself otherwise.

    He convinces himself that he’s fine, that he’s still young enough, strong enough, with time to ‘turn it all around.’

    He keeps a script on repeat in his head like a prayer: I’ll get back to tennis, I’ll get serious again, I’ll fix it.

    But it’s been years now, and if he was really going to fix it, wouldn’t he have already?

    He’s a popular guy.

    Well…

    He’s always been liked.
