Cole came in aggressively.
Emma waited until the last possible second.
Then she shifted position and redirected him.
Cole stumbled past her.
The room reacted immediately.
A few soldiers laughed.
Cole turned.
Lucky.
Emma remained calm.
Again.
His smile disappeared.
He rushed forward a second time.
This time he tried using his size to overwhelm her.
Emma watched his shoulders and footwork.
Then she moved before he could complete the attack.
Cole lost balance again.
The laughter stopped.
Now everyone was watching carefully.
Emma had not overpowered him.
She had simply made every move at the right moment.
Cole stared at her.
For the first time, he looked uncertain.
