Page 4 of Holiday Hook Up

“Okay then. You two, enjoy your evening.” Pauline turned to the group. “Let’s go ladies. We can test out my new makeup for tomorrow night.”

“That she uses on dead bodies . . .” Adam muttered, relieved that the women had followed their ring leader across the street and his head was still attached.

“Stop it.” Bethany slugged him. “You’re bad.”

He turned back to the woman who had saved his hide. “And you’re amazing. Thanks for your help. The Holiday Hook Up suggestion was brilliant.”

“It was, wasn’t it? It’s the perfect place for all of them to meet eligible bachelors.”

“Plus, it will buy me some time. Thanks again. We’ll grab that burger soon.”

“And the vanilla malt.” She laughed, and he couldn’t help but notice how cute that sounded.

“With extra whipped cream. You got it.” He motioned over to the fire station. “I’m going to stop in and see if Will wants to grab a beer. Thanks again for being a good sport.” He reached over and adjusted her scarf, his fingers accidentally touching her neck. “Want me to walk you to your car?”

“No need. It’s right over there.” She pointed to the black Nissan. “See you, Adam.” She gave a final wave and walked toward her car.

“See you,” he repeated, while rubbing his fingers together.

Why were they tingling?
