[The difference between her trying to throw him and her trying to throw Jessica is that Steve had spent far too long constantly on alert. Even strolling along with a pretty woman, especially after she'd made that mention, he saw her move coming from a mile away.
And instead of dodging or doing anything that might push her away, because hey, he wasn't trying to hurt her, he let her try the move to see what kind of style she had. What kind of training. His hand slid out to grab her arm, gentle as he pulled her in against him, one brow lifted.]
What size is the person you trained with?
[Because she did have training, but it wasn't quite enough to do what she wanted it to. Or maybe he was just not as easy a target as her pseudo-sister. He held her there for a moment before letting her go, not wanting her to feel trapped.]
