"It was with Barry, though. And Alan and Jay. And somehow, every possible thing that could go wrong did, because Alan decided that was the best way to make a point to me when I was being too hardheaded to just listen to it." He sounded fond, not irritated.
He leaned back in his chair and took a long sip of his beer. "When you think of how many times we've almost lost it..." He didn't bother counting threats to the entire planet. There'd been too many to even start, and he figured it had to be the same for Rich. "But here it is."
