We need to review the upcoming dates and plan something for tonight. We’ll get in touch with you both to let you know what the plan is,” Nigel said, opening the door and allowing Amelia to leave ahead of him. Maxim moved to follow, but Alona called him back. “Please don’t go yet.” He turned to face her and all his anger seemed to fade away at the look of fear on her face. Stunning not only her but also himself, he went to her and took her in his arms. “It will be alright. Rachel and Trig are ex-IDJ detectives. They’ll find this guy.” “I hate that he put a damper on our date. I was really enjoying myself. When we were in the elevator . . . after the kiss you called me yours. It reminded me of what the stranger said and I freaked. I owe you an apology for that. I know that you’re nothing like him.” She glanced up at him. Maxim relaxed a little with relief. He had been worried that he had come across too strong on their date and scared her away.
