Hi there,
I'll create a scenario just for my question here. There are a man and a woman. The man wants to use his hand and pat the woman's shoulder. For some reason, the woman doesn't want that to happen and by making an action she stops and in turn makes the man's hand swing backward.
What's the word/phrase that can be used to describe the action here?
I don't know, I just can't come up with anything. Maybe tomorrow's morning it will come to mind. But I may as well put this silly question here, no harm done.
P/S: Does "in turn" sound weird in the above passage?
