Henry, who had been worried about Eve, shouted, "Everyone, stop!"
His usual composure was thrown to the wind, replaced by a father's desperate cry.
The trainees, who had been relentlessly frog-jumping across the field, crumpled to the ground. Exhaustion clung to them like a second skin.
"Let's see how you're going to make me lose money," Edgar said.
Debra smiled enigmatically, her eyes giving nothing away.
Edgar walked away, and Henry scurried after him.
By nightfall, the intense training had taken its toll. Everyone was too worn out to even lift their forks.
"My legs feel like they're made of lead."
"It's all Debra's fault. If she had just danced earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess."
The complaints echoed through the dining hall, but Debra was nowhere to be found.
Tomas, puzzled, voiced his thoughts. "What's Edgar playing at? Is he just messing with us, or does he have a screw loose?"
Oscar put down his fork and knife and cleared his plate. Tomas shouted after him, "Hey! Is that all you're eating?"
Oscar checked the time and headed to the practice field. He was fifteen minutes early.
A sudden tap on his shoulder made him turn. Expecting to see Debra, he was met with Freya's awkward gaze. "Are you waiting for someone?"
"It's none of your business," Oscar replied, trying to leave.
Freya grabbed his arm and persisted, "Are you waiting for Debra?"
