As soon as Colin mentioned the tournament, she felt the weight of their collective stare, and knew something much bigger than a tournament was at play here. The third nameless lady behind looked directly at Emory now, blue eyes wide in awe as she looked her over. “The tournament?” she exclaimed joyfully. “How utterly ridiculous,” Kathleen declared, her face flushed.
