“I understand we aren’t. But I think we’re capable of doing it. There was a reason why it said it, and I’m sure that there’s something else up the road that maybe, just maybe, we could win,” Peter explained.

The others exchanged incredulous glances. “I see what you mean Micah,” Xavier quickly added.
