57. Take me Home

REBECCA

I stepped back, allowing his hand to hang in the air, my face tingling from his earlier touch and I sucked my lower lip between my teeth as his words were a dull reminder of Oliver's proposal.

Why did everyone think I needed saving? When did I turn into a sorry case-- goodness me! I can't stand these men thinking they could just offer a hand and I'd take it.

"I won't be the case for your promotion, Detective Theo," I said harshly, glaring at him as his eyes danced with a dash of amusement.

He suddenly laughed, shaking his head softly , paused in between and laughed again like I was tickling his ribs.

"I mean it, Theo. If this is what this is about, then take me back to the hospital right now."

"Calm down, Rebecca. It must be tiring always jumping to conclusions."

I turned my face away and would have stormed off if I knew the way back but apparently I was stuck here with him.

But I still got up in an attempt to walk out to get some fresh air when he grabbed my wrist.

"Let go."
