Fandom: The Good Wife
Rating: PG
Warnings: One tiny reference to sex, otherwise none.
Prompt: #6. Until you lose your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.---Margaret Mitchell

Author's Notes: Written for the femgenficathon. Thanks to normative_jean and leobrat for serving as sounding boards. The quote used in the fic is from Anne Tyler's novel, Back When We Were Grownups. To be safe, spoilers for the whole first season, but all the events of the fic all take place before the show starts.
