Hazel, meanwhile, looked rather unimpressed by his performance.
"Don't worry," she replied matter-of-factly. "Even if you fall, I'll arrange a helicopter and send an emergency rescue team."
Dominique opened one eye.
"That's it?"
"What else do you expect?"
"Some emotional reassurance would be nice. Something like…You're not going to fall, Dominique. I'm here with you. I'll never let anything happen to you."
Hazel blinked.
"I just offered you an emergency rescue team. That's a practical solution."
He clicked his tongue, looking genuinely disappointed. "You're sooooo practical? What's so fun in that???"
Hazel finally managed to push him back a little, although he kept one hand around her waist, his fingers resting lightly against the fabric of her clothes.
