Zara's flying kick came with an overwhelming force, and Ethan could tell right away that this wasn't just for show—this girl clearly had some real skills.
What he didn't expect was for her to go all out right from the start.
Was this some kind of instinct to protect Elise kicking in?
Or maybe... she thought he was some kind of creep?
Ethan quickly realized that this was a very real possibility.
Seriously? How could she think he looked like a creep?
Now, he was really curious about what kind of message Elise had sent earlier.
While he was lost in thought, Ethan instinctively took a step back and turned his body, effortlessly dodging Zara's kick.
Zara, who had been so sure her kick would land, was caught off guard. She had calculated the distance perfectly, but now her momentum was spent, and she was about to fall.
Without thinking, Ethan reached out and caught her.
