Is it a stupid victory? Yes. It's a five dollar victory, that's it. But for once, for once, I did not make his business my own, and actually enforced a boundary that I drew.

And to me, it is everything.
I don't know that there's anything like a "stupid victory," Levana. Something is either 'stupid' or a 'victory', not both.

As you've written, it takes a single sentence, a single page to write a novel with a complete story arc.

Your "stupid victory" is page one.
