I step into the spacious apartment and look across the room at Casey. She looks ready to go, but then again so am I. I step onto the carpet and this is a familiar feeling as I've been here many times before. I know that this is Casey's first time. I know that she'll be tough, but that's what I'm hoping for, a hard fought and competitive victory over a quality opponent. I step toward the center of the carpeted floor, in Casey's direction, waiting for her to join me in the center of the carpeted fight area. I call over to her, "Let's go, Casey. I hope you're ready."
