He was so close she could feel his breath, scented with mint.
In a flurry of nerves, she was already swept up in his arms.
By the time she gathered her senses, she was seated in the passenger seat.
She heard the car door slam shut, and Adrian Zhekova was already in the driver's seat.

Cindy Clarke glanced over in confusion and noticed Adrian was looking at her.
Her face read: "Why are you staring at me?"
Adrian couldn't help but laugh, "Put on your seatbelt."
Cindy's face flushed red with embarrassment, feeling as if her head could explode at any moment.
She had just been caught staring!
Now she was the one embarrassed!
Cindy bowed her head and silently buckled her seatbelt.
Morgan Clarke, who was usually very talkative, was now oddly quiet.
Glancing in the rearview mirror, she saw the little one had fallen asleep in the back.
