• He clothed me in one of his shirts with the greatest care, never taking his gaze off of mine. He leaned down and lifted me up as soon as the end of the garment touched my thigh. He cradled me to his chest and started to walk, trying to keep me as near to him as he could.
• "I was so terrified by that." As he carried me into the dense foliage, he murmured into my neck. The rapid tempo was uncommon, and I could definitely hear the thumping of his heart in his chest.
