He couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment.Emma stepped closer, her eyes never leaving the pebble. "Now, move it to the left, slowly."Taking a deep breath, Adrian shifted his focus. The pebble obeyed, gliding to the left. His control wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained it, guiding the pebble in a smooth arc."Excellent," Emma praised.
