Chapter 14 - THE MORNING AFTERVictory did not feel the way Mia expected.
There was no parade.
No television interview.
No dramatic celebration.
The next morning, she opened the academy at six.
The same old door.
The same old floor.
The same smell of leather and sweat.
But something had changed.
People arrived early.
Not because they were afraid of losing the building anymore.
Because they understood what it meant.
Brandon arrived carrying coffee.
“You look tired.”
“I am.”
“So am I.”
They smiled.
Frank entered behind them.
“Classes are booked for six months.”
Mia stared at him.
“What?”
Frank laughed.
“We have a new problem.”
“What?”
May you like
“We're too popular.”
For the first time in a long time, Mia laughed.
