Nell had always been afraid of Kevin. But today when he wound up for his 
big serve, he just looked silly; kind of like Dinosaur did sometimes when 
sparring with Belle. The ball swung toward her, dewy with spit and not really 
going all that fast. Kevin was shouting things at her, calling her a cunt and 
other words, but for some reason Nell didn't hear it and didn't care, she just 
lunged toward the ball and punched it hard, putting her whole body behind her 
knuckles in a straight line, just as Dojo taught. She hit the ball so hard, she 
didn't even feel it; it shot up in a wide arc that took it behind and above 
Kevin's head, and after that all she had to do was give it a few more slaps as 
it whizzed by, and she'd won the game.
