Karen’s nothing if not determined. It’s an important skill for her to have, and she appreciates him taking the time to teach her. She nods and changes where her heel is on his foot, adjusting to his advice as he gives it. She doesn’t particularly enjoy being caught by surprise. The next time she finds herself in a tight corner, she’s not going to stay in it.

It’s a move she’s seen before, but not one she ever would have thought to try on her own. “Define easier,” she remarks, a hint of wry amusement in her voice. She’s not entirely convinced that they’re going to go down easy, but she trusts him to navigate the fall so neither of them end up with broken bones.

“Okay. Let’s give this a shot. You ready?” She waits for him to get into position, and braces her hands on his shoulders, since she’s not entirely sure how this is going to go. She shifts her weight, bringing her foot around to nudge his knee out from behind. Perhaps predictably – they go down like a tower of cards and she lands on top of him with a gasp. It’s quickly followed by a laugh. “Are you okay?”
