​from CATCH AS CATCH CAN

Get a grip. I’ve got practical matters to attend to.
She cleared her throat.
“There’s my phone, laptop, wallet with credit cards, cash, passport, and clothes.” She laughed nervously. “You know, the things we can’t live without. My assistant will provide a detailed list. She already shut down my electronics and credit card accounts, but my cell and computer were off when she checked, and the cards hadn’t been used.”
“Can she get a last location on your cell phone?”
Rachel noticed his long limbs.
He must be tall. It’s my job to notice these things. It’s not because he’s eye candy. Really, it’s not.
“She’ll have that shortly. She’s also in contact with the U.S. Consular Agency and has sent them a completed DS-64 and DS-11 to get my passport replaced.”
“Your assistant is quite efficient.”
“She’s the best. She even offered to shop for clothes and have them shipped here for me.”
“Dedicated.”
“We’re like sisters, but she planned to be on vacation, too. So, I don’t want her to spend more time than necessary on this.”
Detective Bikadi nodded. “The doctor has cleared you for release. Can I give you a lift to your hotel? You’re staying at the Ritz-Carlton on Seven Mile Beach.”
He already knew which hotel she booked.
“I can have the hotel send a car or get a taxi.”
“The choice is yours, of course.” His eyes focused on hers again. “You’ve been through a lot already, and I thought you might prefer not to wait here any longer than necessary.”
She shivered. His formal speech patterns gave her a spell of déjà vu.
“Thanks.” She stood with a wobble.
He held out his large hand to her, an offer of support.
She took it and watched his fingers curl around hers.
“Go slowly.” Detective Bikadi guided her to a wheelchair.
“I don’t need that.” She chuckled, brushing her dark hair out of her face with her free hand.
He still held her, firm, yet gentle, almost tender. His touch brought up feelings she hadn’t experienced in years. She couldn’t meet his eyes as she pulled her hand from his. A nurse gave her a neon pink scrunchie which Rachel used to bind her hair.
Granted, he’s hot—just my type physically, with his naturally brown skin kissed rosy by the tropical sun, his long black hair, and bottomless brown eyes. But the butterflies in my stomach, the tingling under my skin, and all my pleasure points surprise me.
She shook her head and blinked. “I can walk.”
“You know they won’t let you get to the door under your own power. And chauffeuring you will soothe my macho feelings.” He grinned.
The dimples on each side of his luscious lips sent Cupid’s arrow to her heart.
Oh, boy. I’m in a basketful of trouble.
